Dick Scott Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Winner of Best Oil Change Spot!
Wednesday, August 22, 2012
Life Remodeled Redford build is underway and more help is needed to get it finished!
It was the best birthday present Tanya Ray had ever received.
Out to lunch with some family members to celebrate earlier this summer, she received a phone call. It was from the Life Remodeled people.
Ray and her children will take control of a new home in the 19100 block of Poinciana later this month after it's built by Life Remodeled volunteers. They were selected after months of thought and consideration by Life Remodeled in Redford, being run by several area churches.
The program selects a family to be the recipient, and donates materials and labor to build a home for them. After owning the home responsibly for three years, the family receives the title.
Homes have been built for families in other communities, including Westland and Farmington Hills.
The Rev. Mike Gorr, pastor at Mercy Road Church and leader of the Life Remodeled project in Redford, said while it was difficult selecting just one family, he's happy Ray and her children will be able to settle into the new home once it's complete.
The field was eventually narrowed down from nearly 100 to three before the final selection.
“Of those three, a single mom with four kids was chosen to receive the benefits,” Gorr said. “There's a need there. We felt like this was the best choice at this point.”
Construction on the home will begin Aug. 20, and will wrap up by Aug. 26. A celebration to pass over the keys to the home is planned for 2 p.m. Aug. 26 at the home on Poinciana, near Seven Mile and Inkster.
Volunteers and financial donations are still needed to complete the project, Gorr said. Anyone looking to donate can do so by going to mercyroadchurch.org and clicking the Life Remodeled tab. Checks can also be mailed to P.O. Box 401466, Redford, MI 48240.
Gorr said the project has raised more than $20,000 already. He's anticipating getting to building later this month.
“If we're going to serve the world, we believe it starts in our hometown,” he said. “It was a project that fit with our mission as a church.”
Ray, who has lived in Redford for the last three years, said the opportunity to settle down will benefit her children greatly.
“They're literally remodeling our lives top to bottom. That's where me and my kids are going to plant our feet,” she said. “They're not giving us a house, they're giving us a home.”

DICK SCOTT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM HELPS RAISE $470 FOR AREA SCHOOL
Plymouth, MI – Dick Scott Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram helped raise $470 for
Moraine Elementary School with Chrysler brand’s Drive for the Kids ™
program. The fundraising event was held on June 1, 2012 by the Moraine
Elementary PTO.
Forty seven participants earned a $10 contribution to the school from
Chrysler brand by taking a brief test drive in a Town & Country, the
company’s award winning minivan. Dick Scott Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram
supplied the vehicles, and volunteers from the dealership were on hand
to assist in fundraising drives.
”Drive for the Kids ™ is a mutually beneficial program. We’re pleased to
support our local schools, and enjoy demonstrating a terrific, world
class product,” said Nichole Scott, Director of Dealership Operations at
Dick Scott Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. “Parents are genuinely interested
in testing our 2012 Chrysler Town & Country minivan with all the
advanced safety, technology, and economy features; and we are happy to
help raise extra dollars for the school. We all work together for the
kids. Everyone has a great time!”
Chrysler supports schools in the communities where the company does
business. Since 1993, when Chrysler introduced Drive for the Kids ™,
Chrysler dealers have worked with parents and educators in communities
across the nation. Chrysler has contributed over $4 million, directly to
local schools, for student needs from playgrounds and field trips to
reading programs and computers. Chrysler is proud of this tradition of
community involvement. To learn more about Chrysler Group LLC, visit the
