My sister died 9/11/05, her husband died 12/30/05 leaving my two nieces 
and nephew and great neice in their parents home which was in 
backruptcy.  They were forced to move in Feb of 06 on my niece Sylvia's income 
that she earns in the photo lab at Walmart.  After all the heartache 
that they had sufferd this year the car she was driving was repossed by 
the dealership due to the fact that it was included in her parents 
backruptcy.  She is a student at Penn Valley College in the Nursing program 
and works full time.  She has to ask people for rides to and from work, 
struggles to keep a roof over her and her two siblings and three year 
old daughters head, food on the table etc.....
Just writing this little paragraph has me tearing up.  I do not know of 
anyone in this city who deserves a car based on tragedy more than her. 
If she had a car she would be able to go to and from work which is the 
only way that this family will be able to stay out of a homeless 
shelter and for her to better her life by obtaining a education in nursing.  
Thank you for your consideration.  Sylvia's Aunt DD.

MY mother Christine  is in need of a vehicle 
she was Diagnosed  with fourth stage throat cancer in april of 2006.My 
husband and I took her in to take care of her the best we could. We 
have been having hard time getting her to and from all of her appointments 
she had to go to radiation every day monday through friday and had 
chemo every 21 days.As of october 2006 she found out she was in remission. 
I tried to do my best but I have 4 children and I also have a heart 
condition which I have to go to Dr. appointments myself which doesn't 
allow me to always be here to transport her. My husband works a full time 
job and works over time constantly to just make ends meet, so he is 
unable to transport her. I have had to pay family and friends to take her 
places when I'm unable.Since my father passed away she has lost 
everything from her home to a vehicle that has not ran since late 2004 to 
almost losing her LIFE.Now she has a chance to start a new life for herself 
and being without any transportation keeps her from furthering her
  self to appoitments and living on her own. Thanks for allowing me to 
tell my story.
                         Sincerely,
                              Mistie

My daughter, Fawn, lost her 8 month old daughter, Janis Joelle, when 
her boyfriend dropped a pot of scalding water on her and she passed away 
from these injuries on May 31 of this year.  Since that time it seems 
as though bad luck has followed us.  Times have been very hard mentally, 
emotionally, and financially.  My daughter's car's transmission has 
blown and we have no way to replace it or get even a used car.  I have 
been trying to help my daughter financially but I do not have the 
resources to help her get the car fixed.  I am so worried for my daughter as 
not having a car means she is not able to get to work or school, she has 
worked so hard to try to get through this time and it just seems like 
one thing after another is happening creating more havoc in her life.  
Having a car that is in good condition would mean so much to her.  Life 
has been very trying as she is still trying to understand why she is 
being punished and the person who scalded her daughter got off scott
  free and now she has no transportation to get her to the places 
(school/work) that keeps her mind occupied.  Please help her, I have nowhere 
else to turn for this kind help.

Fawn is in her early 20's

To Whom It May Concern:


In May of 2006 my cousin, Jerry Lee Mc Guire, called me from the 
Veterans Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri and wanted to know if I would be 
willing to be his companion to go with him to get a heart transplant.  
His mother is 78 and in bad health, his sister is also in bad health and 
there is no one else to go with him.

On Monday, October 2, 2006 the hospital called me and said they should 
have a bed in Salt Lake City, Utah for Jerry one day that week and if I 
were still willing to go with him to please come to the hospital and 
meet with the doctors.

I went to the hospital and while I was there a bed became available and 
within 30 minutes we were being rushed by ambulance to the K C Airport 
and loaded onto a LIFEFLIGHT JET and whisked away to Utah.  I spent the 
next 10 days with him in the MICU of the Veteran Affairs Medical Center 
there in Salt Lake City.  

The doctors have determined that he is a good candidate for a heart 
transplant, but first they need to operate and put a "L-VAC" in his heart 
to help relive the pressure on his lungs.  then take approx. 3-4 months 
to come back from this surgery to be strong enough to go through the 
transplant.

The social worker there at the hospital told me they were sending me 
home to close up my house and be back there within 7-10 days when they 
operate on him.  the social worker said it is important that we have good 
transportation in order to get him back and forth to the hospital and 
doctor appointments.

I am in desperate need of a GOOD vehicle that will get me the 1500 
miles back to Utah, stand up under the cold weather in Utah, and get us 
back home to Kansas with all of this is over.  

PLEASE, with the grace and mercy of our Heavenly Father, help us!!!

My name is Joyce Molina, I am Mr. Mc Guire,s cousin, and the only one 
able to help him at this time.
Please help us with a car.  
Mr. Mc Guire and I are both disabled and on limited incomes.  by the 
time we take care of our monthly financial obligations there is no money 
left to buy a car.


Between surgeries we will be housed at:
Common Thread Inc. Transplant House

Sincerely,
Joyce Molina

She is on her way to be with cousin Jerry in Utah

to whom this may concern :

may i ask that you please take this application in to deep 
consideration.

Miss Carruthers is a hard working employee of mine.
she has a refuse to lose attitude. may I add these are the kind of 
people I want and enjoy to help succeed in life. 

Miss Carruthers currently has a car that is in such bad shape it would 
be a prime candidate for the television series pimp my ride. since she 
does not live in southern California that is not possible.
so now I am asking for your help. I just drove this car today. with 
that said I deem this car unsafe unfixable and undependable to transport the two 
special needs children she is a single parent of. miss Carruthers oldest 
child 
(age 10) is an asthmatic and must take breathing treatments as well as 
steroids. miss Carruthers youngest child (age 2) was born with 
omphalcele. in ordinary terms she was born with no interior stomach muscle, 
therefore her intestines and liver protruded from the umbilical cord area at 
birth. this special needs child is constantly visiting the doctor as 
well as the emergency rooms at the hospital just to survive everyday life. 
this child will again need several surgeries in an attempt to correct 
this unfortunate birth defect.

miss carruthers is totally dedicated to these special needs children 
and deserves any help she may acquire.

as i have asked, i am sure you will take this informational letter in 
complete consideration.

sincerely and thank you,

I need to be able to take me and my wife and family to many doctors 
appointments and so that we can find some employment so we wont be 
homeless due to not enough money to survide. A good running car will give us 
hope of independence. We need hope of better times to come.

FOR BRITTANI SUBMITTED BY HER MOTHER DONNA

Brittani deserves to be nominated for Cars for Christmas for many 
reasons. Brittani has helped many people over the years in any way that she 
can. She was an integral member of the team that organized the Journey 
to a New Road Project, led by Matt O’Conner, to assist the victims of 
Hurricane Katrina. Not only did Brittani and her family assist with the 
acquisition of supplies, but also with the delivery and distribution of 
those supplies to the victims of Katrina. Brittani drove a truck in the 
convoy and directly assisted the Hurricane victims. Brittani also has a 
history of volunteering for local charities, including the City Union 
Mission.
A survivor of the greatest loss, that of a child to SIDS; She has over 
come cancer, and survived spousal abuse. Surviving it all to become a 
great mother to her 9-year-old son, Braden. After all this time, 
Brittani has hit upon some hard times herself. After losing a great paying job 
to downsizing, she has lost her vehicle. She has now found a job paying 
far less, but it is close enough to home to walk. She’s been forced 
to post-pone continuing her education and trying to make a better life 
for her and her son, due to an erratic work schedule and a lack of 
reliable transportation. 
A car would be such a blessing to Brittani! It would certainly help to 
ease the stress of the struggle for this amazing single mom.
