Tamara Kasper carves out niche helping families with auto repair.

March 24, 2022—A Houston, Texas, mechanic is using her shop to serve underprivileged families in need of automotive repairs.

Tamara Kasper, owner of Six13, has been using crowdfunding as a means to help families in her community in need of auto repair. 

“This area was hit hard during Hurricane Harvey and I really wanted to give back,” she told ABC 7. “During Harvey is when I started using GoFundMe pages to help people fix cars.”

She hopes to create a nonprofit to continue the work.
