A volunteer firefighter in Palestine, Texas is driving around in style. The Avondale Collision & Repair team refurbished “Ugly Betty,” the truck of John, a Make-A-Wish North Texas Kid, according to a press release.
John was diagnosed with leukemia and since he had to give up his dreams of being in the military, he joined the Westside Fire Department. “Ugly Betty,” the car John needs for his job as a firefighter, was in need of a makeover and that’s where Avondale came in.
Avondale team members donated their time to work on the truck and they gifted it to John on May 7, according to a press release. The reveal included cars from each Avondale Group dealership and the Grapevine Fire Department Fire Station No. 1 Truck Squad attended.
