Taay Taay's Graduation Gift (First Car)






Taay Taay's Graduation Gift, First Car. I sold my 4-wheeler so that I could buy Taay Taay his first car. Why? He is a great kid that worked really extremely hard to be one of the few that graduated from his class..against all odds. During this time he also kept his family together (after losing father) and stayed away from drinking and drugs.. Hopes? Yea, I hope that learning to drive will open a lot of doors for him and inspire him to dream big. I want to send a big thank you out to all of the people who helped make the car all Taay Taay dreamed of: My brother Erik and his friend in Chicago--spent two days buffing, painting, cleaning, and installing a new stereo. My neighbors up in Anchorage (Josh, Seri, and Kevin) for doing a final detail, putting seat covers, decals, repairing dog damage, and installing cool lights. Taay Taay's words "THIS IS MY CAR!! IT'S SOO COOL, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!" This said at 2AM, kid half asleep from flight. Photos are from exact moment he saw car...he hates smiling for photos but can't hide the smile here.. THANKS EVERYONE! I never knew that a Ford Escort could bring so much happiness.
