About Helping Hands Garage
Helping Hands Garage is a 30-minute automotive series that seeks out deserving families who have survived hardships and helps them get their rides back on the road. Hosts Katie Osborne and Collete Davis lead the charge to help families who are battling through adversity. Whether it’s rebuilding after a natural disaster, holding down the home front while their military spouses are away, or serving as first responders to those in urgent need, these families have their hands full – which means automotive crises can easily fall by the wayside! Each week a new set of helping hands will get these cars back on the road and rebuild the family’s spirit one project at a time.

Special Guest: Bri Lynch
Bri Lynch is a die-hard motorsports and car enthusiast, and at just 24 years old her experience belies her age. Not only is Bri one of the youngest stunt drivers in the industry; she’s also amongst the most experienced stunt performers, having performed stunts at the level of many professionals twice her age.
Bri’s career as a professional TV and film stunt driver has taken her around the world to work on the sets of some of the biggest blockbusters, including Black Panther, Creed, Proud Mary, and The Fast and the Furious franchise. Bri has stepped in behind the wheel for A-list actors such as Regina King, Lupita Nyong’o, Taraji P. Henson, Kiersey Clemons, Javicia Leslie, and more. Stunt driving may be her profession, but Bri’s automotive passion doesn’t end there. When she’s not working on the second unit, you can typically catch Bri in the garage wrenching on one of several cars she’s built, or at the track pushing a drift car to its limits.
