What an incredible day! On behalf of all of us at Deserving Rides, we want to thank everyone who came out to support and celebrate another unforgettable vehicle giveaway alongside our amazing partners at Advanced Auto Clinic. Special thanks to 104.5 WSLD and the Delavan-Darien School District for helping make this day extra special.
A huge congratulations to Jonathan, our most recent Deserving Rides recipient. Jonathan, your constant acts of service and the way you put others before yourself truly embody the spirit of this program. This vehicle is more than just a set of keys—it’s a symbol of appreciation for all you do to lift others up. Our community is stronger, kinder, and more connected because of people like you.
Deserving Rides was built on the belief that when we have the ability to give back, we should. Thanks to the continued support of local businesses, volunteers, and the families we serve, we’re proud to keep people safely on the road—and moving forward in life.
To everyone who donates, nominates, or simply spreads the word: thank you for being part of this journey. We’re not just rebuilding cars—we’re rebuilding lives.

At Deserving Rides, we know that life doesn’t always go as planned. Illness, job loss, or unexpected hardships can hit anyone—often without warning. But even in the toughest seasons, there are people in our community who continue to give, serve, and care for others, even while facing challenges of their own.
That’s why we’re so proud to recognize Johnathan—a truly deserving individual—with the gift of reliable transportation. Thanks to our ongoing partnership with Advanced Auto Clinic in Delavan, we were able to put keys in the hands of someone who not only needed a dependable car but has earned it through selflessness and resilience.
This is what Deserving Rides is all about: lifting up those who lift others. Congratulations, Johnathan—your kindness and perseverance inspire us all.
