Nakecia Smith who is a member of Strive2Thrive which is an economic mobility program that assists families to become self sufficient received a very special gift one day before her birthday in Albany Georgia. Thanks to the United Way Of Southwest Georgia as well as Synovus Bank who saw firsthand her struggles of raising four children by herself after she had to quit her job since she had no auto to take her to and from work and the pandemic affecting her family, she was given the keys to a new Honda Element auto. Synovus Bank as well as the United Way of Southwest Georgia are doing their part to assist Nakecia and her children to have a happy life by having an auto so she can go to her workplace and spend time with her children in their free time on road trips. Not only did Nakecia did a nice Christmas present which made her very happy and grateful, she also received her best birthday present a day early.

Well deserved. It is a struggle to be a single mother.

You are right since single parents have tough lives raising children. I agree that Nakecia did earn her new auto working hard to provide for her children.
