Man Who Lived In His Car Surprised With New Car

A formerly homeless man who had just got back on his feet working two jobs was emotionally surprised with a car after his broke down almost forcing him to lose his jobs. Ariez couldn’t believe his eyes as charity workers at Facing Homelessness Denver (FHD) – a group who had earlier helped him get off the streets – invited him outside his place of work to a waiting new car. The second-hand vehicle had been donated by a local auto-shop after they heard of his plight. Ariez has been working two jobs and currently lives in a local motel after battling his way back after being made homeless. But when he was stopped one day for having no taillight, he took it to a garage only to discover the muffler was also broken. With the repair work costing more than the cars value, Ariez was forced off the road, meaning his 30-minute commute between jobs was suddenly a lot longer. And without being able to hold down both jobs, he faced the prospect of ending up homeless again. But a kind-hearted member of staff at the auto repair shop later contacted FHD after finding another unused vehicle, which the company agreed to fix up and donate to Ariez. Amber Dinh, who founded and runs FHD, decided to surprise Ariez with the good news as he worked one of his jobs. Leading Ariez outside, she began explaining the situation and as the penny dropped, he was bent over with shock.
