Dec. 15, 2014—CARSTAR Silver Hammer Body Shop of Omaha, Neb., recently donated a 2006 Mercury Mariner to single mother through the National Auto Body Council’s Recycled Rides program.
The vehicle recipient was Diamond Shouse. Shouse’s son, Leon, was born with a heart disease that requires several open heart surgeries throughout his life. Shouse was forced to borrow cars in order to get Leon from their home in Lincoln, Neb., to doctor appointments in Omaha, and her new ride will help her and Leon meet with doctors independently.
The Mercury Mariner, which had been totaled as a result of a collision, was donated by Farmers Insurance and was refurbished and repaired by CARSTAR Silver Hammer.
Recycled and aftermarket parts were donated by LKQ Corporation and Keystone Automotive Industries. Additional parts and services were donated by: 3B’s Towing, Absolute Auto Dent, Auto Tech, Auto Zone, Baxter Ford, Charity Cars, J.D. Casey Paint, National Auto Body Council, Nebraska Frame and Alignment and CARSTAR Silver Hammer technicians.
