A new car was given to Lyn Story, a retired Fort Worth citizen who is well-known for giving away rides to needy neighbors, by Philadelphia automotive dealer David Kelleher.
Despite her own financial difficulties, David Begnaud presented her tale six months ago, emphasizing her unselfish dedication to strangers.
Using the neighborhood app “Nextdoor,” Story started giving rides to people she met. She soon became a lifeline for residents like Kevin Horrigan and April Goodwin.
Horrigan, who is blind, relied on Story’s rides to get to work three days a week, while Goodwin, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, required transportation to medical visits.
With an open heart and an open car door, Story continued to serve her neighborhood in spite of her personal hardships with rising gas expenses and an aging vehicle that broke down often.
“Lyn’s like a little angel; she really is,” Horrigan stated.
Story’s commitment inspired David Kelleher, a vehicle dealer in Philadelphia. David Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram owner Kelleher is well-known in his neighborhood for his charity endeavors. He made the decision to do something memorable after learning about Story.
Begnaud said her car would be fixed and took her to a dealership in Fort Worth. But when Kelleher arrived, he made it clear what his real goal was: he had made arrangements for Story to have a brand-new car for nothing.
The surprises didn’t stop there, though. Kelleher clarified that he would pay for everything, including an extended warranty and title and tags. He even pledged to cover her annual insurance premiums so she could drive her new vehicle without concern.

“To know that I could help somebody in such a way that’s been helping other people. I get so much out of it. Now she’s gonna be safe, it’s gonna be dependable. She’s gonna be able to help other people,” Kelleher stated.
“I’m just blown away by this generosity,” Story stated.
Story gave the new vehicle the fitting name “The White Knight,” in honor of the present that would enable her to carry on assisting others. “I’m going to take April and Kevin to their appointments,” she replied.
“And I’m going to take them to their doctors’ appointments and work. And continue to look for people on Nextdoor who need a ride.”
