We have two fun OnRamp updates to share. First, because God continues to work through you all to provide the funds we need, we are in a position to keep buying more reliable used cars. If you or anyone you know is considering trading in a vehicle to buy something new, would you consider offering it to us at the trade-in price if it’s on our list of preferred vehicles below? In particular, we are always looking for Toyotas and Hondas that are less than 15 years old and with less than 160k miles. Camrys, Corollas, Civics, Accords, and Yaris’ are our bread-and-butter. We also love Highlanders, Siennas, Odysseys, and Pilots if they still have lots of life left in them. Please let us know if you have a vehicle that meets our needs that you would sell us at trade-in value or below. Simply contact me at blakej@onramptx.org.
Second, we’ve moved into our new office and are loving it! Thank you to all the charities, businesses, and churches that donated furniture and supplies. We have spent only about $150 so far to fully outfit this office. Stephanie, Cassidy, and I are enjoying building our team after years of trying to coordinate over zoom. While remote-work is a blessing at times, it is wonderful to be in-person, especially for building camaraderie and improving efficiency. We had a great time with our spouses at the TAMU-LSU game (quite a win!). And we’ve just completed going through Strengths Finder, which I highly recommend if you’ve never done it. Among many strengths we each bring to the table, Stephanie is our Developer, Cassidy is our Empathizer, and I’m the Analytical dude. I’m grateful for a diverse team. I’m also grateful for periodic work breaks to play with Cassidy’s new daughter, Peyton. Baby breaks are the best!
