The Secret Samaritan Charity Program surprised its second recipient on Friday, Dec. 7. Erin Marchello of Price was the recipient of a Buick Regal.
Marchello and her young children found themselves in tough times when their beloved husband and father, Andy Marchello, passed away in mid-November. Erin’s friends nominated her for the Secret Samaritan Charity Program. When they completed the application, they expressed the need for Erin’s family to have a reliable vehicle.
Although her friends knew it was going to happen, it was a complete surprise for Erin. “The vehicle is more reliable for her and her family so they can continue to do the activities they love,” shared one of Erin’s friends.
JN Auto assisted in obtaining the Buick and handled the paperwork. JN Auto also came with goodie bags for the Marchello children. Erin expressed how thankful she was for her friends, JN Auto and the Secret Samaritan Charity Program.
