On the same day that Harrel contacted Tender Hearts Ministries, a single mother in need of transportation also reached out to the organization. Ainslee Moss, the president of Tender Hearts, described the recipient as a participant in the non-profit's back-to-work program, which provides comprehensive support to individuals seeking to get their lives back on track."A single mom in our program who has a small child, and she was starting back to college. Working full time," Moss said, emphasizing the importance of the donated car for the program participant's journey towards self-sufficiency.Restoring Faith and Providing Opportunity
