NABC Recycled Ride® Program Joined Farmers Insurance and Andy Mohr Collision Center Donate a Refurbished Vehicle to Deserving Bloomington-area Citizen

The Car Presentation Took Place in Bloomington, Indiana

PORT CHARLOTTE, FL (March 15, 2024) – A deserving head of family from Bloomington experienced a life-changing event recently – the presentation of a vehicle to provide her independence and the ability to work and take care of her family – thanks to the National Auto Body Council Recycled Rides® program along with car donor Farmers Insurance and repair partner Andy Mohr Collision Center. Andy Mohr is a member of the Collision Advice Spartan Group.

The presentation was held at the Andy Mohr Collision Center location on Curry Pike in Bloomington.

“This is amazing! I don’t know what to say. This is incredible. I’m very excited. I have butterflies! I love everything about this car,” was the reaction of Dapoma Radcliff, the recipient of the car donation.

Radcliff is a recent graduate of the Second Helpings Culinary Job Training Program, and she now works for  a catering company. She is known for a strong work ethic and a commitment to her three children. Radcliff has been spending several hours per day on public transportation.  The donated vehicle will enable her to get her children to school and appointments and herself to her catering jobs.

In fact, her first stop after the ceremony was to pick up her younger children from school: “I told them they might be car riders today,” said Radcliff. “I can’t wait to see my kids’ reaction when I pick them up.”
