James Dilks who served with the U S Army Reserves is one very grateful man since he is living proof that no matter who hard his circumstances are like having to walk four miles to his job since he has no auto to take him to work plus walking his two children to school. A special gift from the Derron Cherry Foundation along with Cars 4 Heroes heard about the hard circumstances that James has been going through after his service in Iraq from 2003 to 2004 decided to thank him for his service to our nation by donating him a refurbished auto to the Dilks family earlier this week courtesy of Cars 4 Heroes founder and director Terry Franz. James is a very happy man that he now has an auto that will ease the burden of walking to school taking his children and going to work every day to put food on the table for his family. Derron Cherry is a former National Football League player who is doing his part to assist persons in the Kansas City area who are doing their part to make their community a better place.

I am sure that James will have money from his job to pay for his gasoline and insurance.
