Testimonials

Timmy came to FrankTown at age 10, mostly because some of his friends were going. “It was something to do, and I got something to eat,” he reflects. He met Wayne at FrankTown, a man who listened to him, cared about him and encouraged him. As Timmy grew to trust him, Wayne taught him to “listen and learn, to show up on time and to not quit.”

“I don’t know where to start. It means so much to have trusted people who love Lainysha, who care about her and she’s safe with them. She is learning so much, like cooking and sewing and knitting. I can’t put a price on my daughter’s face lighting up when she gets to see a lion or acrobats at the circus – the extras I can’t give her because I’m more worried about having food on the table and a roof over our heads. FrankTown has made life so much easier for me. As a single mom, it’s all on me, all the responsibility.”

LaQuisha Waters, the most recent recipient of a vehicle from FrankTown Automotive is a single mom of five children – 4 boys and 1 girl, all of whom are under the age of ten. This past month, LaQuisha received a 2001 Caravan that had been generously donated to FrankTown Automotive to be fixed up and given to one of our families. LaQuisha’s two oldest children attend FrankTown and transportation has been a long time issue for the family.
