Indianapolis veteran who wakes up every day at 3 a.m. to ride a bus to work, gets car, donation

Indianapolis, Indiana – Indianapolis veteran doesn’t have to wake up at 3 a.m. every day anymore to ride a bus to work because he doesn’t have a car.
His 2 hours bus trip will be past as he received car as a donation.
Michael Parks, a Navy veteran who served in the late 1980s, can now work overtime shifts and finally have time to look over new apartment.
“I have to find an apartment within the next two months, and because I am on the bus it’s difficult,” Parks said.
“I don’t even have time to write the phone number,” he added.
When HVAF learned about his story, they immediately got into action in helping Perks with his everyday issue, reliable transportation.
“It’s unfortunate that this need exists, but it’s a privilege for us to help meet that need,” said Ret. Brigadier General Brian Copes, president and CEO for HVAF. “A warm safe place to live, food in our homes, and reliable set of transportation are huge barriers to self-sufficiency and quality of life for the veterans we serve.”
