Pay It Forward…That’s What It’s All About…Let’s Hook Em’ Up!!

You know, it seems like every time I turn the news on I see negative things. We’re facing budget issues, job losses, which leads to higher crime rates, political issues, etc. It goes no and on.  I think if we would spend less time thinking about ourselves and more time looking for ways to help others, we’d live in a much better place.

With that said, we have a collision repair technology program that has reached out and is helping someone less fortunate out. A 15 year old boy was burnt in a fire trying to save other family members. During this fire, his car was damaged.  This is where it gets cool, a student at the collision repair program decided to pay it forward by restoring the car that was damaged during the fire. Get this, they don’t even know the kid that was burned.

I love  the TV show Overhaulin’,  but this is the real deal man. No fame, no money, just wanting to help someone out. They mention needing a little funding to give the car a few extras…..let’s hook them up. Let’s help these guys make it happen. READ FULL STORY

I tried to set up a PayPal donation fund, but I could not get it working correctly.  However, I encourage you to contact the instructor directly.  Be sure to let me know what you donated so I can include it on the website an keep up with the story .

It’s always refreshing to hear how the collision repair industry steps out and helps others.  I know that CARSTAR and Service King have been mentioned on this website for acts of kindness.  There have been many shops help out with the recycled rides program.  They get it!  KUDOS to the shops and schools out there that give back.
