Car donated for Ashville student's use after his previous vehicle was burned - Anniston Star
Ashville High School Principal Patti Johnson said all was going well until a group of young people broke into Raul’s car recently. “It was the Saturday night/Sunday morning after school started,” Johnson said. “This group of young people broke into his car, stole some things and slashed the tires. “The car was parked up next to the house trailer, which, in turn, caught the house trailer on fire. Johnson said the family was inside the trailer asleep at the time of the fire. “Raul’s sister, Jhasmin, said flames were coming into her bedroom by the time she woke up,” Johnson said. Johnson said what happened to this family is horrific. “Raul needs to stay in school, but he also needs to work as well,” Johnson said. AHS Assistant Principal Ray Crump was able to find a car – a 2006 Ford 500. Crump said the owner put four new tires on it, changed the oil and recharged the air conditioner. Crump said a close friend who wants to remain anonymous made a donation just because he wanted to give. Source: www.annistonstar.com
