PHILADELPHIA – Alpha Warranty Services, Inc. continues to support the local community by Delivering the Unexpected to those in need.

Alpha Warranty Services has a long history of being able to partner with their agents and dealers to Deliver the Unexpected to those in need. When Alpha representative Cheryl Barlow learned that Dani’s Auto received a letter about a family in need she immediately knew what to do. The letter from 16-year-old Maiya James, of West Philadelphia, explained that she would watch her mother, Katherine, struggle daily to care for her sister, Mariah. Mariah requires 24-hour nursing care because of her medical conditions including, blindness, cerebral palsy and epilepsy.  Amidst, their struggle, the van used to transport Mariah to doctors’ appointments was unreliable and constantly broke down. After passing the letter on to Alpha Warranty Services, they partnered with Dani’s Auto to provide a solution. Dani’s Auto donated a new wheel-chair accessible van, while Alpha Warranty Services donated a 5-year vehicle service contract and a gift card of $500 to the family to help their situation.
