The National Auto Body Council's Recycled Rides program helped repay Deundre Williams for his service by giving him a car.
This 2016 Kia Optima was presented to Deundre Williams.

Deundre Williams is a single dad with a 6-year-old daughter.

He's also a veteran who became disabled in service to his country.

On Tuesday, the National Auto Body Council's Recycled Rides program helped repay Williams for his service by giving him a car.

Williams, who has a 40 percent disability, was presented with a 2016 Kia Optima, which will give him much-needed transportation to find a job to support his daughter, take her to school and run daily errands.

He said he felt "blessed" by the gift.

He was chosen by Soldiers' Angels, a national charity which provides aid and comfort to the men and women of the United States military, their families, and a growing veteran population.
