A single mother of two in Bethesda who’s relied on public transportation to get to and from work will be getting around a lot easier — thanks to an early Christmas present.
Vehicles for Change presented Shantia Godfrey with a refurbished 2001 Toyota Camry Wednesday morning for the low price of $750.

“It’s the best feeling in the world to drive my own car,” said Godfrey, who couldn’t hold back from smiling about her first vehicle ever.

Godfrey said after putting her son on the school bus, she takes a public bus to take her daughter to day care before catching another bus to get to work.
