Boudray herself added that she was stunned the community -- and the city's mayor -- responded so warmly to their cause. After hearing Dilworth and Boudray's story, the mayor said the city will sort through additional details within next year's budget to see where it can add for families who need it most.
"Transportation is something everybody needs and people in so many different situations in life and you need different transportation options for all those different situations," said Penniman-Morin.KVUE would like to send you push notifications about the latest news and weather.
