Carolyn Fugate, a Rockland County (NY) resident and Disabled Army Veteran, received a donated car courtesy of Four Star Auto (Tallman) and VFW Post 9215.

Guy Gebbia of VFW Post 9215 (Upper Nyack) works with David Davidowiz of Four Star Auto to take donated cars and make them viable options for veterans in need. Four Star screens potential vehicles, donates their labor, and repairs the vehicle. The VFW pays for parts needed for repairs.

Carolyn served in the Army from 1983-1984 and received a medical discharge due to her injuries which greatly impacted her life. Years later after learning about a program that helps other veterans, Carolyn stepped up and became a peer mentor with the PFC Dwyer program. She was an eager volunteer and connected and helped many other veterans. When offered a position as an outreach coordinator, she was willing to expand her responsibilities and accepted the challenge. But Carolyn had a limitation: she had a 30 year old vehicle in need of repair and her ability to assist others was hampered due to her failing vehicle.

But now, thanks to the donation from the VFW post she will have the reliable vehicle she needs to go to work and help other veterans. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

The event aims to fill a military HMMWV trailer with new, unwrapped toys that will be distributed to children throughout Rockland County during the upcoming holiday season.

Families are invited to stop by, donate a new toy, and meet Santa Claus, who will be on hand to greet children and help spread some Christmas cheer in the middle of summer.

Organizers hope the community will come together to help ensure local children and families benefit from the Toys for Tots program this holiday season. Every donated toy helps bring joy to a child in need.

Those attending are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy to support the annual campaign and help fill the trailer for children across Rockland County.
