THANK YOU! To all who helped two old ladies!!

Either by donating to our gofundme, or reposting my fund raiser. We now are the proud owners of a gently used 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport with only 57,000 miles on it. Thank you very much for your support and the love you showed us. ❤️

Here is the new car in front with my wife, Kat. (The old kia with the blown engine is in the back.)



There's plenty of room in the back for Kat's manual wheelchair and hopefully we will get a lift so we can take her Jazzy chair.



And here's our old faces, grinning because we are so very grateful and thankful for everything! I send you all a great big virtual hug!!!!!!

Google it, there's a lot of info on the Web. I read that using a wheel lock is the only way to prevent it. 1WorldHope Jan 2024 #5

Unfortunately, one client was not as understanding of my predicament and found another nurse to take my place. But, I still have my favorite client, a little three year old girl whom I absolutely adore. And her family is great too.

I go back to work tomorrow night. And I am so grateful to have that.

My neighbor boy bought a Hyundai and it was stolen in 3 hours. The police said kiA and Hyundai are really easy to steal. Kids are doing it for fun. Makes sure your car is not the year or models having problems. Sorry for the downer, some state's insurance companies won't even insure them. Sorry sorry sorry, hope it's not your car.

We'll keep an eye out and we have a camera that points to the driveway and alerts when there's movement.

Thank you!!!!

Anti-Theft Software Upgrade
In response to increasing and persistent thefts targeting certain Hyundai vehicles without push-button ignitions and immobilizing anti-theft devices, Hyundai has introduced a free anti-theft software upgrade for affected customers. All of the nearly 4 million vehicles involved are now eligible to receive the software upgrade.


You can go here to schedule your software upgrade:

We bought our daughter a used Hyundai Kona in 2020 when she was going to be attending college in Southern California, and she later got the upgrade.

It's the ones that have a jey ignition that aren't secure.

Also check to see if there are any open recalls.
