2021 Wheels of Hope Vehicle Recipient


The radio stations of Bicoastal Media, Gills Point S Tire and Auto, Ray Schultens Motors, Washington Gorge Action Program, Car Stereo Specialists, and Columbia Veterinary Hospital teamed up for the seventh year to help a Columbia Gorge family in need. 

Wheels of Hope provided Tiffany McLaren and her sons a 2014 Ford Focus SE to help them meet their daily travel needs. Tiffany’s son Micah, 11 years old, has a rare vascular disease, has gone through 2 brain surgeries and has ongoing therapy appointments. Tiffany was without a vehicle and relied on others for transportation. 

In addition, Michelob Ultra and Walmart of Hood River awarded the "Pay It Forward" element to runner-up Stephanie Oberg. Stephanie received 1000.00 worth of auto repair to get her ’93 Toyota 4-Runner in better shape.

Wheels of Hope is also supported by Maupin's Stoves and Spas, A Kidz Dental Zone, Crestline, NW Natural, Gorge Granite Works, One Community Health, Mid-Columbia Mobile Propane, Downey Sleep Center, Hood River Cherry Company, Integrity Roofing, Precision Automotive, Mt. Adams Fruit, Page Paint, and Infinite Graphix.
