One Woman. One Year. Six Breakthroughs.
What can happen in a person's life when they finally have reliable transportation and a community cheering them on? We'd like to introduce you to someone we're calling "Hope," because that's exactly what her story gives us.
‘Hope’ received a car from OnRamp one year ago. During that year, we covered 90–100% of her vehicle maintenance costs and walked alongside her with ongoing prayer, encouragement, and resource connections. Our goal is always to partner with each client in pursuing their goals, and ‘Hope’ set the bar high!
Here's what she accomplished in just one year:
📈 Increased her net worth by $4,000
💳 Raised her credit score by 150+ points
✅ Paid off ALL her debts
🎓 Earned a Technical Certification
💪 Lost 20 lbs on her health journey
🏠 Is now preparing to purchase her first home this summer
One woman. One year. Six life-changing breakthroughs.
We talk a lot about how a reliable vehicle removes barriers to employment, to healthcare, to education, and to the community. Hope's story shows us what's possible when those barriers come down and a determined person is set free to pursue the life they were made for. We are deeply grateful to God for all He is doing in her life, and to every donor and prayer partner who made this journey possible!
