Fundraiser surpasses goal when car is repossessed with newborn inside.
Tanisha Carothers, a caring and dedicated woman, wears two hats as both a daycare owner and a lawyer. Recently, she has been making waves with her admirable efforts to help a mother in need. Sabriya Miles, a mother of two, had her car repossessed while her 7-day-old baby was still inside. This heartbreaking incident caught the attention of Carothers, who was determined to make a positive impact.

In order to help Miles and her family, Carothers took the initiative to start a GoFundMe campaign. Her initial goal was to raise $6,000, but with the overwhelming support from over 200 donors, the campaign has surpassed that amount. The fundraiser page outlines the harrowing details of the repossession, in which a car salesman allegedly drove off with Miles' newborn in the back seat after attempting to repossess the vehicle in a "bootleg" manner. The man eventually realized the baby was in the car and called the police.

According to a report by 14News, Miles had no prior knowledge of the repossession and had momentarily left her baby in the running car while dropping off her toddler at a daycare in Evansville, Indiana. The distraught mother recalled feeling frustrated and helpless, as she had carried her baby for nine months only to lose her in such a traumatic way. Thankfully, with the help of another mother, Miles was able to track her car down, but not without losing her means of transportation, as well as her children's car seats and cell phone which were all inside the vehicle.

Carothers was outraged by the actions of the car salesman, expressing her disbelief and stating, "To think about the humanity of repossessing the car at a day care, I would have been livid had a dealer done that in my parking lot to a family." With a strong belief in the power of community support and a desire to make a positive change in the family's life, Carothers launched the fundraiser.

The main goal of the campaign is to provide Miles with a new vehicle and essential baby items that were lost during the repossession. Carothers has provided updates on the fundraiser page, informing donors that with the current funds, they are in the process of finding a suitable car for the family. Additionally, the campaign aims to assist Miles in finding employment and replacing the car seat and other items that were taken during the repossession.

Although Miles faced criticism on social media for leaving her baby in the running vehicle, both the police and the mother have confirmed that the baby is safe and sound. No reports of reckless driving or negligence were filed against Miles, and the authorities do not anticipate pressing any charges against her or the car salesman involved in the repossession.

In an effort to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future, Washington D.C. Mayor has taken a proactive approach by distributing free AirTags to combat car theft. This serves as a reminder of the importance of taking necessary precautions to ensure the safety of our vehicles and loved ones.
