The Original 1-800-CHARITY CARS

GOD HAS HIS REASONS

My name is Charmin and I am a Hurricane Katrina survivor. I had a job, a convertible, a residence, and a business idea that I was trying to sell to the local Wal-Mart when Katrina came through our city. I lost everything. I then boarded a bus that was going to Chicago, IL. Upon arrival the Mayor and his staff were there to help us with temporary housing.
One day I received a call stating that 1-800 Charity Cars, a nationwide 501�3 non-profit charity, was donating 100 vehicles to domestic violence survivors and victims of Hurricane Katrina in Chicago, IL. I was fortunate to receive a 1990 Mercury Sable, �Big Red�, which enabled me to regain my independence and motivation. Without 1-800 Charity Cars I would not be able to continue my dream to market my business idea of a new hair accessory that will be available this fall at Walgreen�s. Due to receiving the vehicle from 1-800 Charity Cars, I am now able to donate �Big Red� to someone less fortunate who has a �dream� to succeed as I did.

I want to express my joy

I would like to thank you for my 1993 Jeep Cherokee Wagoner. I am a mother of eleven children who was blessed to stay at home and take care of my family for 33 years, however, served with divorce papers changed my whole life. I was placed in survival mode and my faith increased and was put to a test. I love my jeep, I am very proud of my gift god sent to me through 1-800-Charity Cars. This is my first vehicle that is all mine. Thank you.

Thank you for the 1996 Dodge Ram, we have already put it to good use. Within hours after we picked this vehicle up, we helped a mother and her baby daughter leaving a homeless shelter and move into her own apartment. This happened 2 days before Christmas and was their greatest gift. They were in the shelter over 90 days and she had left an abusive husband. This vehicle is helping clients to get to the soup kitchen, important meetings, health care appointments and allows for transportation in moving people into their own apartments and to transfer furniture to families in need.

Thank you so much for this donation of the 1998 Ford Escort that I received through Charity Cars. I has helped me get to appointments but mostly back & forth to work so that I can provide for my family. I am a single mother of 3 children & I can't tell you how happy they were when I drove it home. It has changed our lives tremendously. Thank you again.

Thank you for my 1999 Saturn SW2. Although I am a working mother with a decent job, I found myself in an ugly predicament. Divorcing my husband, paying attorneys & family counseling, and left without a vehicle. The simplest tasks were insurmountable some days. Even worse, I couldn't get on with my life because every day there was the reminder of how hard it tis to start over. Now I can truly start rebuilding my life again & not be stressed every day. God bless you & yours for your kindness. God is good and so are you.

I am very thankful for the 1998 Chevy Malibu. I had no way to take my daughter back & forth to school until now. My job was also very far & hard for me to get to. This is really going to make mine & my daughter's life much better.

I would like to thank you so much for my 1996 Cadillac Deville. I have now enrolled in school & can get back and forth to work without worrying about how I will get there or home. I can pick the kids up from their afterschool programs & don't have to worry about something happening to them because it's dark by the time they get out. You will be in my thoughts & prayers daily. May God bless you always.

Thank you so much for my 1991 Honda Accord. I wish that words could adequately express the gratitude that I feel in my heart for this gift. Receiving this vehicle is already completely changing my life for the better. I am a single mother of three and have been attempting to raise them on my own & go to school at the same time. Having the car ensures that the quality of our lives will increase tremendously in every way, shape & form. Thank you for giving me such a wonderful gift.

Thank you for my 1996 Ford Aerostar. I am a single mother with 2 children. I left an abusive situation & we had nowhere to go so I was referred to a shelter for women & children. I had no job & no source of income. I am now employed as a housekeeper & have my own apartment. I cannot express how much this gift form you has made our lives so much better. I never dreamed anything like would happen to me. May God bless you & your family!

Thank you so much for donating your 2001 Ford Focus. Receiving this car will not only allow me to continue to run my business but it will also relieve a massive mental & emotional burden of stress & worry by having reliable transportation.

Thank you for my 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan. You've helped me get my freedom. It's the greatest feeling in the world to know someone was willing to help me get my life back.

Thank you for the 1995 Ford Escort. I am the director of a shelter for battered women. Starting November 1, 2007 we have the good fortune to have an Americorp worker for 1 year. This worker will do follow-up with families after they leave & assist with resources such as: going back to school, help with ongoing court hearings regarding assaults and providing information & referrals to other community agencies that may be helpful. The worker did not have a car but a valid driver's license. She will be using the donated car this year to meet with ex-residents & to train a group of community volunteers to carry on the work after she leaves. After this year, the car will be donated to a family who is "starting over". We are extremely grateful to you for your generous gift.

Thank you for my 1998 Plymouth Neon. I was a battered woman for over 5 years. I finally went to a shelter with my 2 children & am now in a transitional living house. It was very hard to get my kids to daycare by bus & then catch another one to my work. Thank you so much for helping me with this car.

Thank you for my 1996 Dodge Caravan. The use of this van will help maintain my job as well as get my children to school and not have to depend on others to get back & forth. My 4 daughters and I just want to say thank you to our "Angels" who God chose to care enough about us so we can stay independant.

Thank you for the 2000 Saturn LS2. The gift was so timely due to some recent health issues. I dreaded the idea of braving another winter at the bus stops. I have an 11 year old daughter and this vehicle makes it much easier to coordinate her schooling with my work. I am very committed to giving back to those in need in my community & with this car that will now be possible. Thanks again for your generosity. May you be blessed as you continue to bless others.

I would like to thank Charity Cars for my 1999 Jeep Cherokee and for having such a great organization. Single families, like myself, can get this wonderful opportunity to have a good running car. Please tell the person who donated the car we said thank you and we are so happy we received it.
