Kenny’s Days of Giving Day Two: Mom gets oil change & $100 for car repairs

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO)- Every holiday season, our Christmas Elf, Kenny Lopez spreads cheer to the un-expecting!  On his 2nd day of giving, as part of “Kenny’s Days of Giving”, what is Mr. Lopez giving away?

Let’s find out as Twist Reporter Kenny Lopez headed to New Orleans East to Banner Chevrolet on Chef Menteur Highway to help out a Gentilly mom with car troubles!

“We’re going to give her a free oil change, free car inspection, and surprise her with a $100 gift certificate for maintenance.

Claudette Ashford wrote in to Kenny Lopez asking for help with her car.

Ashford is a mother to an 8-year old boy, Johnathan.  Her car is very important to her because she uses it not only for work, but to run errands, take her son to school, helps deliver necessary items to senior citizens, and she helps other parents pick up their kids after-school.  This Christmas the simple upkeep of her car is difficult.

Banner Chevrolet jumped at the chance to help out Claudette!

“We wanted to help as part of Kenny’s Days of Giving.  It’s the Banner way to give and help someone have a great Christmas,”  Rick Flick, Owner of Banner Chevrolet said.

“Thank you so much!  Banner Chevrolet is really there for the people, and thanks to Kenny the Elf too,” Ashford said!
