leave a like right now he had been in the force for a long time but what he saw that day was something he just couldn't stand she gripped the steering wheel tightly as she felt her hands get clammy and sweat was dripping down her face she looked in the rear-view mirror and watched as the police officer approached her vehicle she didn't want to panic but she knew she was in big trouble she didn't think she'd be able to talk her way out of this she cursed her bad luck as she rolled down her window and braced for the worst the past few months had already been quite hard on ebony rhodes after losing her mother she packed up her entire family and moved them to atlanta georgia being a single mother of four meant that she had to hustle to provide for her family and there were better opportunities for jobs in the city however soon ebony was faced with an unforgiving reality she tried to keep it a secret for the sake of her children but she couldn't keep it hidden forever one afternoon ebony was driving her children to the library they all had finals coming up and she wanted them to be able to study and do well in school she knew it was the only way for them to have a better life than she did she was immersed in thought thinking about this so she didn't notice the patrol car that pulled up behind her then the siren lights started flashing and she knew she was doomed ebony instantly knew why she was being pulled over her car had an expired tag and she hadn't been able to save up enough to renew it and that wasn't the worst of it her license was also suspended and she had no insurance she knew the police officer would not look kindly on all those offenses even so that wasn't what worried her the most her terrible secret was in danger of being exposed she couldn't help but start crying at the thought ebony's face was drenched in tears by the time the police officer reached her window the officer was taken aback when she saw it she came to the car and asked why i was crying and i was like because i know my license isn't good recalls ebony and sure enough after the officer reviewed her documents she told ebony she had no choice but to arrest her and impound her car ebony's heart sank she knew her secret would be revealed the officer took her and her four children to the police station where ebony was able to call a co-worker to pick up her kids and notify her sister who lived in florida she was the only one who could take care of them while ebony was in jail but that meant taking them back to florida and ebony couldn't bear the thought of them being so far away that said she had other more pressing problems once the police searched her car she'd have to come clean the atlanta police department's deputy chief jeff glaser was sitting in his office when the officer who arrested ebony knocked on his door he waved around and she told him there was a situation she and other officers were conducting a routine search of ebony's impounded car but what they found was more than they bargained for chief glazer went to the impound lot to see for himself we have to do something about this he said once he realized what was going on inside ebony's 1997 buick regal officers found numerous bags backpacks and other items at first glance it looked like a hoarder's car but then the truth dawned on them ebony and her children had been sleeping in this car it was their only home alarm chief glazer went to ebony's cell to talk to her and that's when she told him the whole story since moving to atlanta ebony had been working shifts at a walmart store her pay wasn't much and it was compounded by the fact that she and two of her kids had chronic health issues she found herself unable to make a deposit on an apartment and so she and her family became homeless for the last six months the whole family had been living in that car and the details of that life broke chief glazer's heart finding a safe place to park her car at night was not easy and sometimes it meant driving around from place to place a lot of times i didn't sleep because the kids were asleep recalls ebony i was watching to make sure nothing happened no one tried to rob us so we just stay right there in the car she was ashamed of her situation and so she tried to keep it a secret for a while she succeeded when i got off work we would just sleep right there in the parking lot in my car ebony said a lot of people didn't know that because i was still going to work still this was no way to raise a family and she knew it i apologized to my kids and let them know i'm sorry she confessed then when she was pulled over and arrested she thought they just lost their home but she was wrong chief glazer called the director of a family homeless shelter whom he had met recently i called her up and said listen i've got a family of five including three boys and a girl and he's 17 he recalls and she goes yeah i have some room and if you know anything about shelters in the middle of winter and there's nothing available and she had something available i couldn't believe it and neither could ebony chief glazer told ebony the good news when he called me that day i just started crying because i'd been trying to get into different shelters for a long time she said no one would ever accept us but chief glazer wanted to do more than that he did a fundraising drive among the police department staff so ebony's family could get an apartment it helped but after a while they realized it was not enough to keep them on solid ground so they went public the atlanta pd set up a gofundme page to help ebony and her family my goal is to pay her rent food medicine and transportation for a year so she can continue to work and save money without the stress of wondering if her family will be homeless again road chief glazer the initial goal was fifteen thousand dollars which they met in a matter of days so they decided to extend it to 75 000 to help cover the family's medical expenses so far they have raised 64 370 dollars now ebony looks back on that traffic stop with different eyes atlanta police department is my backbone says ebony they help me come a long way the whole apd is my family because i can call on them for everything and she feels nothing but gratitude for the fateful traffic stop that set everything in motion had i not got pulled over that day i'd probably still be in my car just taking a risk every day losing that car and getting pulled over that day changed my [Music] life [Music] you
