BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET ) -- Two people at Friday's Condors' game were given a surprise Christmas gift they'll remember for a long time. At Condors games, nobody has more fun. But Jeremy Bagby and Kayla Sawyers might've enjoyed the game just a bit more, after both received cars that were damaged in accidents, but have had life-changing repairs. "Our teams have collaborated and built two very beautiful cars for two very appreciative recipients," said Trevor Pentacost, Regional Vice President at Caliber Collision. Army vet Jeremy Bagby served for 11 years during the Gulf War. After being stationed in Bakersfield during the end of his service, he decided to stay. "I started a business, then things just… I could've made a lot of better decisions in life, I guess," said Bagby. Bagby now works as a GET bus driver, a job he loves, but was commuting to by bike.

"This will afford me to get an apartment anywhere in Bakersfield rather than right next to where I work." Then there's foster care worker Kayla Sawyers; she's a former foster care child herself, now 20 years old, living with her foster brother. Her experience with Bakersfield Angels inspired her to help other foster youths. "I've been in foster care since I was about three months old," said Sawyers. "So, I've been through a lot of hardships, ups-and-downs, but I picked myself up and I handled business… I've got a car, this is my first car ever. We're definitely going on long trips, at least a few times." For Sawyers, her first car reminds her of the road she took to get here, and reminds her of the drive she had to pick herself up when she was down. "Just keep your head up," said Sawyers. "Everybody goes through things, you know… it can be worth it sometimes, so always keep your head up." One day on his route, Bagby found something that, regardless of life's trials, now puts things into perspective. "I found this at a bus stop. Look at the date of this guy's enlistment," Bagby said, holding a military card. "This person joined the Navy a month after they bombed Pearl Harbor. Those are the true heroes. Those are the people I'm riding the coattails of. If it wasn't for people like this, I wouldn't have anything. I was just lucky and I did 11 years."
