Pulled over during what she thought was a routine traffic stop, Ebony Rhodes felt her stomach drop. As a single mom struggling to survive, she knew her luck couldn’t take another hit. Today, though, it seemed like the universe had other plans.
Officer Jeff Glazier asked for her license and registration, but Ebony didn’t have either. They had long since expired. To make matters worse, she had no car insurance. Faced with no choice, Officer Glazier impounded her car and took Ebony into custody. Ebony felt like her fragile world was crumbling even more.
But this was just the beginning.
As officers searched her vehicle, one of them noticed something unusual in the backseat. He called Officer Glazier, urging him to take a closer look. What they found left them stunned: the car wasn’t just filled with belongings—it looked like someone had been living in it.
Ebony had no choice but to share the heartbreaking truth. For six long months, she and her four children—Calvin, Ja’heame, Isaac, and Dannaija—had been living out of her car. Their “home” was a 20-year-old Buick Regal packed to the brim with clothes and possessions.
Despite working tirelessly at Walmart, Ebony couldn’t make enough money to secure housing. On top of that, she battled a chronic blood disorder, forcing her to miss work and fall further behind. She felt like she was failing her children. Every step forward felt like two steps back.
As Officer Glazier listened to her story, his heart broke. He couldn’t shake the image of Ebony’s children living in such dire conditions. That night, he went home and shared the story with his wife. They both agreed—they had to do something.
The next day, Officer Glazier returned with an idea that would change Ebony’s life forever.
