Donate $5 To Close a Gap in Transportation Poverty

Please join me in making a difference by donating $5 towards an Amazing Cause.  I'm raising money to benefit Faith Purpose Gratitude Charity Foundation.

The Foundation has a Vehicle Access and Assist Program, where they provide cars, gas, and insurance to individuals in low and moderate-income communities.

For over 50 years, American households in major cities have struggled financially if they do not have access to a vehicle. This is especially true for low-income households, due in part to, vehicle access remains difficult, and vehicle operating costs remain high and volatile. It forces people to either spend heavily on cars or risk being locked out on the economy.

Rural Americans experiences are even worse, due to most counties with rates of zero-car households are rural. In fact, more than 1 million households in predominantly rural counties do not have access to a vehicle or public transportation according to American Community Survey's data. With nearly 11 million households (nationally) reporting having no access to a vehicle, there is a high demand for Faith Purpose Gratitude Charity Foundation's "Vehicle Access and Assist" Program.

Having no access to a vehicle or transportation, like most rural areas, are limited to employment or better employment opportunities, which can not only lead to a higher rate of health issues, but potential criminal activities as well. Research reveals that simply living in poverty increases our likelihood of being incarcerated. When we’re having trouble making ends meet, we’re under “intense stress” and more likely to resort to crime.

The mission is to bring awareness to transportation poverty (articles on this subject can be found on their website at https://FaithPurposeGratitude.org), and to work towards closing the gaps for people who do not have access to reliable transportation.

So we’re asking everyone to donate just $5 towards this Amazing Cause, thank you all in advance
