| GOD HAS HIS REASONS |
| 2008-05-13 09:57:00 |
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...

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.Judy...

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.Dean...

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.DinaCT...

I want to thank you for my 1996 Jeep Cherokee, before this car I could not go shopping or to the doctors with my daughter, I had to worry about someone picking her up from daycare. Now she depends on me and if she gets sick I can go and get her myself. When I left my daughter's father in June 2007 he stated no one will help you like I do. I went to the shelter and my whole life has changed for the better. I am now getting my GED so I can get a job and I do not have to worry that we walk in the cold or snow to go home, I can even go to the grocery store and buy everything in one trip.Thank youBreannaNJ...

Thank you so much for my 1998 Toyota Camry. I am a survivor of abuse of 47 years, first by my father & then by my husband. I have a son with special needs who is also a survivor of abuse. We were tossed out like garbage & left homeless. Getting this car means having transportation for all our medical & therapeutic appointments. With faith & hard work, we can be productive people in our society. This gift has opened my eyes & heart to the fact that miracles do happen and there are angels in this world. When we were feeling desperate, you gave us hope again. May God bless you always.EvelynPA...

Thank you so much for my 2001 Chevrolet Cavalier. Before I was honored with this car, I had to take the bus with my infant son & walk 4 blocks to his daycare. His abusive father would catch me getting off the bus and often attack me then drive away with our child. I don't have that fear of walking home at night. I feel safe & loved now. This was truly a blessing for me and I feel capable of doing so much & getting my life started on a new track.TaliaCA...

| Lighthouse Shelter thanks 1-800 Charity Cars |
| 2007-09-14 22:53:00 |
I would like to start by thanking you for recently assisting one of my clients with an vehicle. As a domestic and sexual violence shelter we are tremendously grateful to 1-800 Charity Cars for all the help you have provided to individuals in need. By providing a vehicle to individuals in need, this program gives people a form of independence that they possibly have never obtained in the past.Many of our individuals we provide services to have to flee their homes leaving behind all material items in order to start over. This is difficult for those who need items such as a vehicle for transportation to get them back and forth to work or school. Once again, I would like to thank you for this wonderful service you provide to in...

I would like to extend my thank you to 1-800 Charity Cars for my 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee, we have struggled for almost a year without a vehicle and there has been many cold days I pushed carts home with food and stood in the pouring rain waiting for buses. My son goes to a school where there is no bus service, so I can tell you this is a true blessing for me and my children.Caldwell CT...
