<div><p>After more than 40 years working as a mechanic, Jerry Greef is ready to call it quits. The owner of Baltimore's One Stop Auto Shop hasn't been on a vacation in 10 years, and he has lots of catching up to do with his wife and kids.</p><p>The long hours Greef worked to serve his customers helped make One Stop into a business worth more than $2 million, but when it was time to say goodbye to his life's work there was a problem. Nobody wanted to keep the garage open, instead they would open a new business or tear it down.</p><p>That wasn't what Greef had in mind, so he decided to give the garage away.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/workers-2.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/workers-2_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p></p><p>Greef donated his entire business, free of charge, to a non-profit organization called Vehicles for Change. The charity give ex-cons experience fixing up old cars that are donated to the program.</p><p>After they've earned the experience, the former prisoners can find a new job as a mechanic, and Vehicles for Change sells them a car at a low price to help them adjust to their new life.</p><p>They also sell cars repaired by the prisoners to needy families. All of this sounded perfect for Greef, who hated to think his business would go to waste. </p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/greef.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/greef_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p></p><p>Marty Schwartz, who runs Vehicles for Change, called this huge donation "a miracle" for the program and the people in it. </p><p>After a lifetime of working hard to help his community, it must be nice for Greef to know that his business will keep doing the same even after he's left it. </p><h3>Share this post if you think there's nothing nicer than giving to charity!</h3><p></p><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p></div>
