A big heart inside of a simple woman.

A big heart inside of a simple woman.

Please help

A Georgia couple were just going to buy a car. But instead, they ended up changing one family’s life.

The couple, who wish to go unnamed, were at Steve Rayman Chevrolet when their daughter noticed a woman with a baby and said, “Wow she is so cute and so small.” She asked the woman how old the baby was, noting that the baby appeared to be just a few days old.

Mother Maria Light responded sweetly, saying that the baby was indeed just a few days old -- and alcohol dependent.

“Her real birth mother dropped her off at the hospital and didn't want the baby anymore,” Light explained.

Light too was hoping to buy a car at the dealership and had been there for some time to see if she could get approved. Wanting to help in some way, the customer’s daughter asked if she could hold her adorable baby. 

When her parents walked out and saw the baby in her arms, they too started talking with Light about the infant, and also about her trying to get a car.

Light told the family that she does this for a total of six children who have been dropped off. She fosters these children who have nothing or, even worse, are in really bad shape.

Immediately, the Georgia couple wanted to help. They had already traded in the car they owned, worth $10,000, and were getting ready to leave in a new car. But that didn’t matter.

The man turned to Light and said, “I want to give you my car and still buy the new car.”

“So we did the whole deal over and all the paperwork," Steve Rayman, of Steve Rayman Chevrolet, said. "And these folks just gave the customer their trade-in for free." 

But even after that, Rayman said he had a gut feeling he also needed to do something for Light.

He felt for Light, because of her situation and having to pay for everything else, including a Title Ad Valorem Tax, emission, tags and plates, before she could drive the car home with her baby.

So, Rayman decided to pay for all of that personally.

“It was such an incredible gesture from someone that didn't ever lay eyes on this person before but due to circumstance wanted to help," Rayman said. "It was fantastic. The least I could do would be to pay for all the other things to help this lady that does so much for kids like this and it broke my heart." 

This Go Fund Me account ( link: gf.me/u/qkrjs ), is to help Maria Light to continue the good work that she does for those children in need. If you are not able to donate money, we welcome to drop off or mail what you wish for the children and we will make sure that Maria Light recieves it.
