Parting with your car is never easy, but if it was necessary to better the life of my child (hypothetical child) I would do it in a heartbeat. To no surprise, Jonathan Corbett of Camillus, New York feels the same way and has put his daughter in front of his love for Subarus. Corbett is the proud owner of a modified 2011 [Subaru WRX STI](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/11026/special-edition-subaru-wrx-sti-type-ra-expected-to-arrive-this-month>) and the father of a sweet and beautiful 5-year-old girl.

Unfortunately, Corbett's daughter, Colleen, suffered brain damage during birth and has been suffering from the consequences ever since. Colleen got a blood infection during the birth as well as as a subdural hematoma and endured two major seizures according to information obtained by the folks at [*Jalopnik*](<https://jalopnik.com/dad-of-the-year-is-selling-his-wrx-sti-to-pay-for-daugh-1796901425>)*.* This brave little girl now has level two cerebral palsy, bilateral hearing loss and suffers from frequent seizures as a result of complications with her birth.

In order to improve her quality of life, the Corbett family has coordinated with a clinic near Los Angeles for Colleen to undergo stem cell therapy. Unfortunately, the only way for this to become a reality is if Corbett is able to sell his 2011 Subaru [WRX STI](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/11297/subaru-drops-more-powerful-wrx-sti-type-ra-and-special-edition-brz-ts>) for [approximately $20,000](<https://syracuse.craigslist.org/cto/6205776117.html>). Since the procedure cost $6,500 and Corbett still owes $12,000 on the car, he hoping $20,000 will do the trick.

The [2011 Subaru WRX STI](<https://syracuse.craigslist.org/cto/6205776117.html>) currently has 88,500 on the odometer, but it appears Corbett has taken great care of the all-wheel-drive Subi. Some of the modifications include a Cobb accessport, Eibach sway bars, SPT exhaust, Cobb downpipes and much more. We truly hope someone steps up to the plate and drops a bag of cash at this guys doorstep because we deserves it more than 99 percent of the people on Craigslist.
