Three Generations of Love — Powered by The Lift Garage

Candace's car is a lynchpin.

This Subaru keeps not just Candace, but also her daughter—Clover—and granddaughter—Ruby— connected to their communities.

Candace lives just blocks from Clover and Ruby, and all three women live full and active lives. Candace and Clover call themselves "Team Ru," working together to raise Ruby. Clover works as a nurse, and her hours make it impossible for her to bring Ruby to school and other activities. Candace, and her Subaru, keep the family running by getting Ruby to school, before playing her own meaningful role in her community. She visits her brother with Alzheimers Disease, watches her friend's pets, and support's their household.

So when Candace's Subaru needed major safety repairs, this trio faced their whole world grinding to a halt. Without Candace's car, Clover would have to switch to working part-time to ensure that Ruby could get to school. The quote they received for the repairs wasn't feasible, and they desperately needed other options. 

Give to the Max

Candace found The Lift Garage, where we were able to repair the Subaru for just 1/3 of the market rate—saving this family nearly $1,000 and keeping all three women active and thriving in their communities. 

Now Candace, Clover, and Ruby are able to learn, work, and support their community to the fullest—and our donors made that possible.

Stories like this one are possible because of the generosity of our supporters. Our donors make low-cost car repair for Minnesotans possible and keep us alll safer on the road. 

This Give to the Max Day, your gift will help ensure that customers like Candace can keep their routines stable and nurture their self-determination, rather than worrying about the safety of their vehicle.

Make your gift go twice as far!

Your gift will be DOUBLED, dollar-for-dollar when you make a Give to the Max Day gift, and you'll have twice the impact on families like Candace's.
