Who We Are
A significant challenge faced by single-mothers-in-need, and their children, is transportation. Wheels From The Heart gives the gift of a reliable vehicle to single moms with children and helps them drive to a better life. Owning a car is often the first step to financial independence for single mothers and their families. The Wheels from the Heart Foundation works to help make this happen.
Help Those in Need
Single Moms in Need of Transportation
“I am a 22 single mom and my daughter is one and a half. We are currently relying on friends, family, tri rail, or uber for transportation – which really adds up. My first car broke down when I was pregnant. I was living in Tallahassee at the time in a group home for pregnant women who were victims of abuse. Feeling overwhelmed, I moved south to get more help and support from family. A car would change my life.”
“I was referred from YWCA and AVDA. I have five kids, their ages range from 12 down to 3 months. Since I have five kids it is hard to get around and get things done without a vehicle. This would be tremendously a blessing for us.”
“I was at the Delray Beach parade and heard of your organization. I am in need of transportation for me and my 5 children. Right now I have to take an Uber to work everyday and get the kids to and from school. I sometimes catch the bus to work.”
