I wasn t expecting this, Martinez said.
The Civic will be a big part of Martinez s plan to reboot her career and will be a great help in caring for her children ages 2, 4, 6 and 6 months.
The car will also be used to take her youngest child to UF Health Shands Hospital in Gainesville every two weeks for medical appointments.
Martinez received the car during a gathering at St. Paul AME Church in northwest Ocala. It all came about after Jack and Nicole Wharton of Ocala decided rather than sell or trade in their Civic, which is in good condition, they would donate the car to someone who could use it to make their life better.
