Kayli's daughter was watching. Every early alarm, every parenting class, every dollar set aside, she saw her mom’s hard work and sacrifice. This week, our new OnRamp San Antonio team celebrated Kayli as their 3rd local client. She met her advocate at Presbyterian Children's Homes & Services determined to build a new life for herself and her daughter. She didn't just meet the goals in front of her, she exceeded them. She saved thousands of dollars so she and her daughter could move into their own apartment. She faithfully attended parenting skills classes.

Yet one hurdle kept getting in the way: transportation. High-interest loans, unreliable cars, and repair bills drained the savings she'd worked so hard to build. In a city as spread out as San Antonio, reliable transportation isn't a luxury. It's how you get to work, keep your commitments, and stay connected to the people you love. That’s why OnRamp gifted a Honda to Kayli, so she can put her energy where it belongs, in her work, in her daughter, and in her future.

At OnRamp, we share God's grace by gifting reliable vehicles to hardworking people in need, people exactly like Kayli. We're honored to partner with her on the road ahead!

We want to give a special thanks to Christian Brothers Automotive which gifted $10,000 to OnRamp San Antonio to allow us to purchase this vehicle, and City Limits Subaru (a Keating Auto Group dealership) who set this car aside knowing it would be a perfect fit for our program and sold it to us at a very fair price. We could not do this essential work without partners like these!

Be Part of the Next Story
Kayli's car is on the road because generous people chose to give and to volunteer. If you feel led to help the next hardworking family or individual get moving, visit our website and choose "San Antonio" as your location.

EMERGENCY REQUEST: please help us get this in front of as many people as possible. This is the daughter of a current OnRamp client and she is in serious danger.

Client 293: Three Miles Each Way

Three miles. That's how far Dequennce walks to work on days when he can't find a ride. Then he walks three miles home. A grocery run means a 20-minute walk in each direction, and he can only buy what his arms can carry back to his apartment.

Dequennce aged out of foster care and has been building his life one step at a time ever since. He has no car, no family vehicle to borrow, and no public transit to fall back on. Even so, he works 40 hours a week, keeps his own apartment, pays his bills, and recently started a savings account. What weighs on him most, though, is being unable to visit his family down in Houston.

He has big plans for his future. Dequennce wants to enroll at Blinn College to study Construction Science, move into a better job, and one day give back to the food pantries he relied on during tough times. Every one of those goals depends on reliable transportation. That's why Noemi, his case manager with Unlimited Potential, nominated him to OnRamp. As she wrote in her nomination, "Dequennce pays his bills and is doing everything he can to continue growing. We are so proud of him."

So are we! This young man impressed our whole team. Last week we gifted him this dependable Toyota USA , the first vehicle he has ever owned. Look at how much ground he has already covered on foot. We can't wait to see how far he goes now that he has his own set of keys! Please join us in praying that this Camry carries him to class, to work, and home to Houston for years to come.

If you'd like to partner with us in serving more local clients like Dequennce, please consider giving to OnRamp during this year's Brazos Valley Gives, live now through October 20th. We've secured $18,500 in matching gifts, so every dollar you give will be doubled! You can give anytime before 11pm on October 20th at the website in the comments.

Client 292: Serving a God of Second Chances

After struggling with addiction and being released from jail, Bethany walked straight into Adult and Teen Challenge in San Antonio with her newborn in tow. This year-long, faith-based residential program has helped many addicts turn their lives around. She completed the program and passed every drug test. She paid off her outstanding fees, got her license back, fulfilled her probation requirements, and gave her life to God.

Bethany now lives at home in Hearne with her baby, her mom, her sister who has a brain injury, and her grandpa. Bethany works 40 hours a week, and when she can’t get a ride she walks regardless of the heat outside. There is no viable public transportation, Uber, or Lyft in Hearne. To stay on a path towards self-sufficiency, Bethany needed a reliable vehicle of her own.

Fortunately, she had a mentor and advocate named JoAnn Willis (who you have heard us praise many times!) who leads another addiction recovery ministry called The Nest - addiction and family support. JoAnn has known Bethany since she was twelve and calls her transformation miraculous. JoAnn nominated her to OnRamp and we joyfully gifted Bethany a reliable TOYOTA last week.

God redeemed Bethany’s life, not just from sin, but from the scourge of addiction. Thank you to all our donors who enabled us to become part of His grand story of redemption in this sweet sister’s life.

A donated car through OnRamp often does more than impact one individual's story-- it frequently results in a "ripple effect" felt by the people and community in the individual's sphere of influence. We received this wonderful update from an OnRamp client highlighting how a vehicle has allowed him to have an even greater impact on his community.

Through your partnership, OnRamp is able to impact individual stories and the community as a whole--thank you for helping us in our mission to share God’s grace by gifting reliable vehicles and help people on their journey to self-sufficiency.

Christopher and Lauren, our 288th OnRamp client family, exude the calm, contented faith so many of us long for. Christopher has served as one of his church’s full-time maintenance technicians for years while Lauren stayed home to raise their three young sons. Though their income was small, they were able to make do until the engine failed in their one working vehicle, leaving Christopher without a way to get to his job thirty miles away. The church graciously loaned them one of its vans, but it was only temporary and had no AC. Imagine working full-time, raising 3 young boys, pinching every penny just to make ends meet… and then this happens!

But Christopher and Lauren did not become angry or bitter. As one of our interviewers remarked, “I was really impressed by Christopher’s work ethic and his contentment. He was willing to do whatever he needed to do to make ends meet… even if it was mowing lawns as a side hustle.” Another said, “the words calm faithfulness come to mind. He talks about the tough things with a calmness that reveals a faith that God has good things in store for him and his family.”

Fortunately, God came through for this family by providing a reliable TOYOTA last week through OnRamp! Thanks to your generous donations, Christopher and Lauren are back on the road raising their boys, working hard, and serving the Lord.
