Lacey is a 25 year old sales clerk living in Clovis trying to make a living on 7 to 16 hours work a week. Her hours were cut back and she cannot find another job in this job market. Her car is slowly falling apart too. This year it has failed the smog test and will have to be parked unless she can find the money to repair it. The car is only worth around $800. She is struggling to work enough hours to earn the money. This vehicle will be a be help in her daily working life.
