- After over a year in one of our free vehicles, Brad was able to save up and pay cash for his own car! In our next newsletter, we’ll share a short video highlighting his Journey from homelessness to financial self-reliance, getting custody back for his two girls, getting engaged, and buying his own car – and how our JumpStart program helped make it happen.
- Deb and Isaiah also completed their personal growth & financial courses, and have made great strides in life. We celebrated their graduation from the program, and their new found self-reliance, with an awesome dinner catered by one of our other program members who’s working toward starting her own tasty food business.
- We have one more minivan ready to go, for a single mother of 4 who just moved out of a shelter and is ready to finally break free of the poverty cycle she’s been caught in, and give her family a better life.
Thank you for your continued support of Maverick, so we can keep JumpStart growing!
What is the JumpStart Program?
Maverick takes low-dollar trade-ins that were destined for the auction, repairs them to safe and reliable condition, and then makes them available on a free lease, to struggling families that don’t have transportation.
With these free cars, along with required education & mentorship, the Maverick JumpStart program empowers these families to break the poverty cycle, develop self-reliance, and open doors to brighter futures. (read more)
We accomplish this by providing three crucial elements needed to create lasting change: key resources that are currently out of reach; education and guidance; and personal motivation & discipline to make good choices – the last being most critical.
We do this by providing a free vehicle to use while in the program, along with other key resources, coupled with regular financial and personal growth classes, plus one-on-one mentoring.
Where does the motivation and discipline come from – to save money, make good decisions, and work hard to create lasting change? When you don’t have any other transportation, having a free car to drive is a big deal. But this is a hand up, not a handout, so in this program, continued use of the vehicle requires active engagement in classes and mentorship, and making measurable strides in financial improvement. Thus, the vehicle serves as an invaluable resource for transportation and financial savings, and also as a powerful motivator for continued learning, and development of disciplines for personal growth.
Combining these key elements gives our participants a jumpstart in personal growth and financial stability, to help overcome poverty and lead their families to brighter futures.
