Kissimmee, Fla. (WFLA) – A single mother in Central Florida is not transported after the car is stolen from the car wash and the thieves are combined.
According to a report from NBC affiliate Wesh, Helen Marie dropped off her two daughters at daycare before dropping off to wash her car.

She said she saw someone climb into the car after leaving to grab a mat. She thought it was the attendant who was running the vehicle, but soon realized that her car had been stolen.
“When they reversed the vehicle. And I heard the tires screech…it was an aggressive move,” Marie told Wesi. “I knew this was typical, but not what you would expect.”
Chanel Aisha Anderson, 33, was accused of stealing the car and having it for Joylide. Police said Anderson went through the car wash and into the street. There, he said he attacked several other vehicles, including a tanker truck, before hitting the pole.
Marie was not injured, but other drivers and passengers were taken to the hospital.
The ordeal caused $20,000 worth of damage. Marie said that with her liability coverage, she would not receive money from the insurance company to buy a new car.
Now she is struggling to prepare for the birth of a boy without any means of transport.
“At the time of the accident, there were diapers in the car,” Marie told Wesi. “Of course I’m a desperate single mother. I tried to save what I could do from those diapers, but the diapers had shreds of glass.”
Marie began a GoFundMe fundraiser in the hopes of being able to buy another car.
