My best friend Carmen and her family are Katrina Survivors from New Orleans. They were stuck on the roof of their neighbors house for three sun blazing days and four quiet star filled nights surviving on food and water that "mama Diane" stocked up on throughout the months if not years! Maurice's only wish was that he could take his kitten with him when they were rescued by the local folk there who piloted a boat looking for people that needed help. The boats man dropped them off at a stretch of road that used to be an intersection where the Orleans and Jefferson Parish meet. The Evan's were picked up by a man in a pickup truck who tirelessly shuttled people to where the I-10 meets the freeway, he is a hero. The Evan's were listening to the portable radio about the chaos at the stadium that was in pandemonium with an all out epidemic of lawlessness. The national guards had moved into town to quell the local people's anxiety, stop the looting and their machine guns set to kill. The Evan's stayed away from the stadium and needed to be on those buses heading out to Houston at any cost. Mother, daughter and grandson held onto each other for dear life.
Living in California was nothing new to Carmen who has lived here before and if it wasn't so darn expensive to live here, she would make her home here permanently. Mama had come to visit a few times and Maurice was born here.
So how is it that a car dealership, Putnam Toyota of Burlingame is giving Carmen a hard time with getting her used car repaired? Apparently, the car dealership (Putnam) is not honoring the warranties that she paid for, new car buyer and extended for the repair to take effect. They want her to produce paperwork that states she had service on the car. Ring, Ring?? Don't you have that stored in your high tech computers? In the meantime, her car is being stored at Ron Price Volkswagen of South San Francisco's repair center for the past 5 months and she is making her monthly payments on a car that was priced too high in the first place at 21 percent interest and no they weren't interested that she IS a Katrina survivor! Fellow bloggers, I am pleading my case on behalf of my best friend, send an email to eric@putnamauto.com to have them immediately repair and get her car back to her. The Evan's have been relying on Cal-train, buses and the help of friends to get to and from work, school and doctor's appointments.
Haven't they been through enough?????????
