My guest today is Cindy Witteman, from San Antonio, Texas. She’s a former single mom of three girls who has created a non-profit called Driving Single Parents, Inc. She finds and donates a car, with the license, tax, and title paid, to a needy single parent. Single parents often find it difficult to secure resources and support, but Cindy’s inspiring story shows what can happen with a heart to give back and help others. Join me for Cindy’s story! What you’ll hear in this episode: How the non-profit grew from her personal experience with single parenthood and the need for transportation How Cindy finds and chooses the single parents The qualifications for recipients: A valid Texas driver’s license, car insurance, and a single parent How Cindy hopes to expand the program and gain more funding The first recipient, John, who lost his wife and his leg in an accident Why single parents often feel alone and without help How this program can be duplicated in other communities Cindy’s first idea of providing child care for single parents, and why that didn’t work How the idea of providing vehicles came about The situation when walking, biking, and public transportation are simply NOT options How to make donations to help Being a single parent: when people stop answering your phone calls Resources: www.drivingsingleparents.com Email Cindy: [email protected] Call Cindy: 210-251-5666 Donate to Driving Single Parents here!
