Arnold, who spotted Meade, red and sweaty, riding her bike in the worst heat this summer, decided he would het her a car. He intended to quietly buy her a used car out of his own pocket so he turned to his friend Kody Slaght, a car salesman to ask about a car priced $1,000. That wasn't enough for a reliable ride, Slaght said, but the dealership said they would find a good car for her at a good price. Soon others were donating. Slaght and Arnold wouldn't say how much the car cost, but the value is about $4,000.

　　Arnold said he was motivated by Meade's work ethic（职业道德）to help. "I see a lot of hardworking people nut that's when they are at work. Can you imagine spending four hours of your day getting to and from work?" he said.

　　Meade's boss said she was awesome and really reliable when she worked and she got along with others. "She's willing to rise the three buses to get in here on her day off if we need her too."

　　Meade said she was planning to buy a car, "but I haven't been able to afford it," she said. "Trevor, he is a very good guy. I did not expect this."
