Soraya, Hands client since 2020
THE MEANING BEHIND YOUR GIFT
Donations fund nonprofit programs, but what’s most important is the lasting impact that is made possible because of the gifts. Soraya is a Hands client who has benefited significantly. She is about to successfully “graduate” from Hands’ programs, leaving with a sound vehicle and knowledge about caring for it.
She began her journey with Hands in December 2020 when she received her 2008 Ford Edge at Phil Long Ford of Denver, a service partner who helped prepare the vehicle. It enabled Soraya to provide for her family while completing a business degree at Metropolitan State College and obtain better employment. Soraya’s is just one story that represents hundreds of single moms’ changed lives. Each year, thanks to the community’s generous support, Hand is able to offer its automotive services.
Thank you for scheduling your Colorado Gives Day gift today and inviting 3-5 others to join you.

Here are some of clients’ reflections about their cars and Hands.
"I am so grateful that I get to have my car fixed here. The staff is so knowledgeable, professional, very friendly and truly cares about their customers. They always do such a great job fixing my car and I am so thankful to Hands of The Carpenter because I cannot imagine having to take my car anywhere else, they are simply the best!!!"

"Complete inspection, evaluation and suggestion for future maintenance. Thank you all! It’s such a pleasure to be treated well and explained everything in understandable terms."

"I am SO HAPPY to have a mechanic that I can trust and is affordable now! I have been struggling with car issues and the costs are out of my budget. Transportation to/from work and school for my son is a priority. I’m so happy my high priority issues were addressed and solved! Additionally, now I can budget appropriately for future repairs and know what to expect. Thank you SO MUCH!"

"I am so grateful for your service! I was having engine issues preventing my car from driving properly and I was able to get my car serviced and repaired the same day. So grateful I won’t be stranded with my son again!"

"I wish I could go to this place on a regular basis for the rest of my life. Everything was phenomenal. My car is so solid now, I feel a lot safer as well. They worked with me to the fullest when I couldn't get my car out when scheduled. Never judged me and always made me feel a part of this family. thank u soooo much. I will be back soon for the rest of my work that needs to be done."
