Simeon “buying” a car for $1 from Kyrsten, a Santiago Partnership supporter from Michigan.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

We have good news from the car front for Simeon.\u00a0 A friend and supporter from Michigan, Kyrsten Newlon, read our newsletter and offered Simeon her car that she was looking to get off her hands.\u00a0 Though the 2011 Nissan Altima had 193,000 miles and a lot of good use, the car has tremendous value in our eyes.\u00a0 Though we had money saved up for the purchase, Kyrsten didn’t want to accept what we offered, but just the customary dollar when a gift like this occurs through the passing of ownership from one person to another.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

We can’t thank Kyrsten enough for this incredibly kind and generous gift.\u00a0 It will help Simeon get from school to soccer practice and around for other various activities.\u00a0 The car is in great shape and should at least last him through the rest of high school and hopefully beyond.\u00a0 Thank you so much Kyrsten!<\/h2>\n
