October Snapshot
Please see attached for the following YTD Statements, ending 10/31/205:
We're charging into November with unstoppable energy, wrapping up two standout projects! (see pic)—We're turning donated rides into life-changing wheels!
1. 2002 Ford Explorer: A Reliable Beauty! This low-mileage gem is headed to a vetted recipient through Healing Housing Inc. based in Brentwood, TN. It arrived solid but needed fresh brakes, tires, ball joints, and CV axles. With those upgrades complete, a quick alignment will have it road-ready. Shoutout to Kirby’s Garage in Grassland for their killer pricing on the tire mounting and alignment work, but fair warning, this one's a bit of an outlier. We're aiming to cap refurbishments at $900 on each car, yet this beauty clocks in around $1,300 (thanks to those tires and alignment). Totally worth it: This truck will deliver years of dependable service to someone who truly needs it!
2. 1999 Jaguar XJ8: Luxury on a Budget—For Sale! Not a program giveaway, but a sleek classic that's primed for its next owner. We're keeping refurb costs lean at under $850: new tires, brakes, coolant, and oil. Post-polish, it'll hit the market at Kelley Blue Book's $2,550 value. (The paint's seen better days, so that's holding back the price tag.) Once it’s all said and done, we expect a solid $1,500–$1,700 boost to our general fund —fueling even more impact. Mechanically, she's a dream (paint aside). Got a friend eyeing an elegant ride? Point them our way!
Pipeline Power-Up: We've got three more donation prospects queued up—fingers crossed, they'll roll into the shop any day now. The momentum is real!
Financial Flash: Proof in the Profits Take a quick peek at the P&L: Over $900 in Program Service Revenue already! That's from everyday customers at the Momentum Garage Shop trusting us with their vehicles. These customers cover the cost of the parts, and we handle the labor; it ends with a generous contribution, and everyone drives home happy! Nine hundred bucks isn't world-changing yet, but it's game-changing validation and proof of concept. This revenue alone funds the Jaguar's glow-up, which flips into $1,500+ for our mission. Sustainable impact? Yes indeed!
