Georgia Mom’s Emotional Plea to Toyota Sparks Heartwarming Response
DALTON, Ga. — A Georgia mother says she “can’t stop crying” after Toyota personally responded to her unusual request for a new car. What began as a daily TikTok series about her worn-out hatchback has turned into a viral feel-good moment — and possibly, the first step toward getting the reliable ride she needs.
According to Supercar Blondie, Jessica Higgs, a mother from Dalton, has been posting about her Toyota for the past two months, uploading more than 70 videos to TikTok. She’s been candid about the vehicle’s deteriorating condition — including a hole in the floor — which makes it far from ideal for her family’s daily needs.
An Unusual Offer to Toyota
Higgs decided to take matters into her own hands, sending Toyota a bold proposal: she would work for the company in exchange for a new car. She didn’t expect much, but the brand surprised her.
An email from a Toyota executive office administrator acknowledged her request and asked for two more business days to review it. For Higgs, it was a small but meaningful victory. “They could have easily declined my proposal,” she said, fighting back tears. “Instead… she said she needs two more business days, and I’m gonna take that as a win.”
The Final Answer — and a Ray of Hope
A few days later, Toyota followed up with a final response. While the company could not directly provide a new car, they connected Higgs with other departments and programs that might help her secure a used vehicle.
The decision left Higgs still hopeful. Her TikTok updates show she remains determined to continue her “Toyota crusade,” and her online following has rallied around her cause, praising her persistence and creativity.
Social Media Support
Higgs’ story is a reminder of how social media can bring corporate giants and everyday customers together in unexpected ways. Her videos have gained significant traction, with many viewers urging Toyota — or even other automakers — to step up and make her dream come true.
