Ashley Massengale and her husband have four children ages two to 12. She left her job to take care of one of her sons who is suffering from cancer. Her current car is on its last legs, so Jay’s Hope Foundation nominated Massengale for a fully refurbished 2018 Chevy Traverse to be used to get her son and other family members to important medical treatments. 

“We were all super excited to see the car, and a little teary,” said Massengale. “We have been so stressed trying to get our son to treatment with an unreliable car. The new car takes all the stress out of getting him to his appointments.”
