Hugs. It’s what happens when the weight of uncertainty begins to lift … when a huge milestone is achieved and the next step toward stability and independence finally feels real. In those moments, dignity, strength, and hope all meet at once.

Your donation, makes these milestones achievable.

We had two car deliveries last Friday!

At the second one, we had the honor of presenting a 2003 Toyota Corolla to Kaitlin, who was referred to us by Wells House, Inc.

Kaitlin has been working hard in her recovery journey and continues to stay active in supporting others in the Frederick recovery community while also building a brighter future for herself and her two boys. Her determination, resilience, and commitment to personal growth have inspired everyone who has met her.

This vehicle will provide Kaitlin with reliable transportation, greater independence, and new opportunities as she continues taking positive steps forward.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this presentation possible and for continuing to support the mission of Second Chances Garage. Every vehicle truly helps change a life.

We’d also like to give a big shoutout to Churchill Auto Care - Auto Repair for consistently partnering with us to complete Maryland State Inspections on our vehicles. Every vehicle placed through our program must pass inspection to ensure it is safe and reliable for the neighbors we serve. We are grateful for partners like Churchill Auto Care who help make these life-changing deliveries possible.

Yesterday, we delivered a 2014 Dodge Journey to Lora, who was referred to us by Faith House.

Lora is deeply committed to serving others through her work with the elderly community and by supporting women in recovery. Reliable transportation will allow her to continue helping those who depend on her while also creating more stability in her own life. It will also make it possible for her to spend more time with her mother who lives two hours away.

Thank you to everyone who helps make these life-changing moments possible.

We are incredibly grateful for the leadership and dedication of our past Chairwoman, Laura Lolly Conway Johnson. Laura has been instrumental in helping us grow and expand our impact over the years.

One of Laura’s biggest contributions was the idea to launch our golf tournament, an event that turned into a huge success, and continues to make a difference for our mission. Her vision, passion, and commitment have helped shape where we are today.

To honor her many contributions, we were proud to present Laura with a plaque as a small token of our appreciation. Thank you, Laura, for your heart, leadership, and belief in what we do. Your impact will be felt for years to come!

Yesterday we celebrated Candace as she received a 1999 Subaru Legacy through our vehicle program in partnership with SHIP of Frederick County. Despite facing housing instability and transportation challenges, Candace has remained determined to build a brighter future for herself and her family.

Candace currently works two jobs, is graduating from high school next week, and has already earned scholarships to attend Hood College this fall. Receiving this vehicle will provide greater independence and stability, helping her get to school, work, graduation activities, and future opportunities more reliably.

We are incredibly proud of Candace’s perseverance, hard work, and commitment to achieving her dreams.
