Driving lessons for Carol so she is able to drive to her job at a law firm

Posted Jan 8, 2025
Carol is seeking financial assistance to pay for driving lessons. Obtaining a driver’s license will help her overcome a significant barrier, enabling her to commute reliably to her job as a Litigation Assistant at an immigration law firm. Currently, Carol relies on Uber and Ozark Regional Transport for transportation, as her family cannot teach her how to drive. At the moment, she spends nearly $300 per month on ride-sharing services, which has placed a considerable financial strain on her. Given her challenging home environment, gaining the independence that comes with having a car would be incredibly beneficial. Additionally, Carol volunteers as a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) and will need to know how to drive to continue fulfilling her responsibilities, which she is very passionate about. Driving is essential for the home visits she conducts. Carol would be thrilled to receive the practice and instruction needed to obtain her license soon!

Carol is 25 years old and lives in AR

Carol's favorite things to do are to read, journal, walk, bike, hike, and spend time with her family in Northwest Arkansas. Her ultimate goal in life is to be a legal advocate for marginalized women, children, and families. Her direct experience in the foster care system exposed her to the harsh reality of the lack of proper representation that these underrepresented individuals often face within the legal system.
