Greetings John!

Let me introduce you to Helen Peeples, a VoteRiders Super Volunteer!

READ HELEN'S STORY >> [link removed]

Helen lives in Florida, where lawmakers have been making it harder and harder for people to vote in the past two years — including by passing more restrictive voter ID laws. But Helen has found a way to fight back and make a difference.

In her role as an on-the-ground Super Volunteer, she spends her time helping voters schedule DMV appointments, arranging free transportation for them to and from the DMV, and even accompanying them to their appointments in case issues arise. She also makes sure the costs of getting an ID or any of the underlying documents are covered with a VoteRiders expense card.

Throughout her years volunteering for VoteRiders, she’s seen the difference an ID can make — not just for voting (in Florida, photo ID is required to vote a regular ballot), but in all aspects of a person’s life.

“I’ve helped people who couldn’t do a job interview without an ID. I’ve helped people living in tents at homeless shelters who couldn’t graduate to a dorm room without an ID. I also worked at a food pantry and the first thing I had to say was, ‘Can I see your ID please?’ If they didn’t have one after the second time they visited then guess what? I’d have to tell them, ‘I’m sorry, but you don’t get your food today.’”

We are so grateful to our volunteers like Helen — and you, John! You’re making a big difference in people’s lives by ensuring they can cast a ballot, but also secure housing and a job, access medical care, and so much more.

“I think it’s an extremely rewarding volunteer gig,” Helen told VoteRiders. “I’ve done a lot of different volunteer stuff, and this is really great. You get an opportunity to be with many different people from many different walks of life who all have a story and who are so grateful for your help."

However you choose to help, thank you for being a VoteRiders volunteer, John.
