Local Educator Wins Patch’s Car Repair Monthly Giveaway

A para educator in a special needs preschool in the Redwood City School District will no longer have to worry about the “Check Engine” sign and flashing brake light.

Thanks to ’ generosity, Jen Kemper and her family will have a smooth running car, one less thing to cause worry.

Kemper’s employment ends for the summer next week and her fiancé was recently laid off. Car payments can eat away into a monthly budget that could be spent on her two children instead.

“We probably aren't the most deserving or needy of the families in our area,” Kemper wrote in her email. “But I thought it was worth a chance.”

Well, we at Patch think the Kemper family is incredibly deserving.

Do you know another family in need?

Nominate a family in need (it could be your own family!) by emailing stacie@patch.com with the subject line "Car Repair." Please include the following:

• Family’s name
• Family’s contact number
• Brief description of why they’re deserving (~250 words)

On the first of every month, we’ll select a winner and then post a brief article on Patch.  

Requirement: Winning families must be willing to have their photo taken at Sophia’s Euro Asia Motors. Families must have members living in Redwood City.
