Everyone has a story. We want to know yours.
Whether you’re a customer, a donor, or you’ve only just now stumbled on our website: We’d love to hear from you! Feel free to tell us how you connect to this important work of low-cost car repair. There’s no need to stick to any specific question or a script, please tell us what you feel is important for us to know. If you’re stuck on what to share, you can use these as a starting point:
- What was your first car? What is a defining feature that you remember about it?
- Have you ever been without a car? By choice? By circumstance? What was it like? How did it impact your life?
- Tell us about a time you used your car as shelter. Were you living in it? Needed to rest on a long road trip? Were stuck in a storm and had nowhere else to go?
- What do you love about your car?
- How did you first hear about The Lift? What compelled you to: make an appointment? make a donation? visit our website? type in your story here?
- Have you ever received news from a mechanic about the extent/cost of a repair and felt your stomach drop? Tell us about that moment.
- If you didn’t have a car, what in your life would be more challenging?
We may want to reach out to you to clarify details or to do a longer interview, if we do an interview we will compensate you for your time in sharing your story.
