DONATE CARS IN ILLINOIS

I am writing on behalf of a young mother of 3. She is currently expecting her fourth infant and will deliver during the month of April. Following divorce proceedings earlier this year, she was forced to leave her home with nothing more than the clothes on her back, leaving her 3 children behind. She is currently staying with a "friend," who is also jobless. She has no means of transportation other than a bicycle. This is totally impractical now, because she is eight months pregnant, and because of the bitter cold and snow. She hopes to, eventually, be reunited with her children. She would love to be able to visit them, (in another town), and to go to church, and to take them with her on Sunday. She is unable to do any of this now.

LIVING IN THE SOUTH SUBURBSRIGHT OUTSIDE OF CHICAGO THERE IS LIMITED 
ACCESS TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. JOE HAS BEEN FIRED FROM HIS LAST JOB 
BECAUSE HIS ATTENDANCE WAS DEPENDING ON AVAILABILITY OF TRANSPORTATION. HE 
HAS TWO VERY YOUNG CHILDREN (INFANT BOY & TODDLER GIRL)DUE TO HIS LACK 
OF EMPLOYMENT AND A RELIABLE WAY TO GET TO ANY JOB HIS FAMILY HAS 
FALLEN VERY MUCH INTO POVERTY AND SOMETIMES STRUGGLE WITH GETTING THEIR 
CHILDREN TO IMPORTANT APPOINTMENTS FOR FOOD, FINANCIAL, ASSISTANCE, CHILD 
CARE, AND DOCTOR/DENTIST VISITS. SINCE THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEM AFTER 
PROBLEM IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO EXPLAIN THIS FAMILY'S HARDSHIP. IT WOULD BE A 
GREAT HELP FOR THEM TO RECEIVE A CAR TO HELP THEM IN THEIR FIGHT TO GET 
OUT OF POVERTY. JOE AND HIS FAMILY HAVE BEEN HOMELESS SINCE MAY 2006 
RIGHT AROUND THE TIME THEIR YOUNGEST CHILD WAS BORN. THEY HAVE STARTED TO 
GET OUT OF THIS BAD SITUATION BY OBTAINING HOUSING. WITH A CAR JOE 
WOULD BE ABLE TO GET EMPLOYMENT AND PROVIDE FOR HIS FAMILY THE WAY A 
 MAN ASPIRES TO DO. IT IS VERY HEARTBREAKING TO SEE SUCH A THING HAPPEN 
TO GOOD PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOTHING BUT LOVE OF LIFE AND HAPPINESS. sO, 
ANYONE WHO FEEL THEY CAN HELP PLEASE DO. I AM SURE THIS FAMILY WOULD BE SO 
GREATFUL.

Hi my name is Aisha and my daughter really needs your help. She is a struggling single mother who is just making ends meet. She works very hard for herself and her son. My grandson has a very suvere skin condition and she is not able to get him back and forth to his appointments. Also we live in a suburban area and public transportation is very limited. If she had a car she could definitely get a better job. My daughter, (Aisha ) is a very good person and mother. She would do anything to help anybody now she needs the help. Please help my daughter get a car, she really needs one and can't afford it. Thank you so much for your time.

My name is Linda and a car would not only help me but change my mothers life very much. We both live together on disability. We live in a rural aera and we lost our car 8 years ago when it threw a rod. We have no public transportation like a buss line. My mother is 76 and can not walk any more.I take care of her alone and she has not left the house for 3 years except to go to the doctors 3 times a year or the hospital. I can not help to keep her not depressed when I have been treated for the past 15 years for depression. The public aid pays for the helping hand to take my mother to the doctors but other then that it is the only time she leaves the house. I cant tell you how many times we did with out our pills, groceries and ect if the people I beg to take me to the store wont take me,our whole life is being scared to face tomorrow. If we had a car we could get groceries when we need to. We could also take care of other things that the doctor wants us to do, like the sleep test she wanted me to take to check for sleep apena but I have no way to go to the hospital at night for the test then get home at 7am.The doctor wanted me to go for counseling and other things but I cant get there. One of the best things would be my mother could get out sometimes, she is the only thing I have in the world besides my dog. Thank You

This is my daughter she is a single parent with 2 boys ages 4 & 2. She has no transportation to get anywhere. She had a car that broke down & they are trying to charge her more than the car was bought for to fix. I am in a financial bind & cannot not help her again. She signed my oldest grandson up for school, but has no way to get him there. She is living in a section 8 style apartment in Waukegan IL an hour away from me & she is trying her best & needs some assistance. Can you help! It would be most appreciated. THANK YOU for reading my letter.

My name is Vivian, mother of 3 small children that are in need of transportation to take children to day care and elementary school and after school program. I am now working after being un-employed for 3 years, but unfortunately unable to afford a car on $7.00 hour, a car would really help out with grocery shopping, school transporting, doctor appointments, and taking kids out on week-ends. The job that I now hold is Case Manager of a transitional homeless facility, I provide social services for those who are homeless and suffering from HIV/Aids, substance abuse, domestic violence and mental illness. Everyday I tell women, men and children that "I know starting over is hard but you can do it", their not knowing that I live that message everyday. Being positive and encouraging to others truly helps me to know that everything changes and I must have Faith in God and my situation will change to. Thank-you for the work that you do. Sincerely, Vivian

I HAVE A SISTER WHO HAS 5 KIDS, AND NO CAR. SHE NEEDS A CAR TO BUY GROCERIES, VISIT THE DOCTOR AND GO TO THE LAUNDROMAT. SHE IS A SINGLE MOTHER LIVING WITH THE FATHER OF HER FIFTH CHILD. TO OWN A CAR WILL HELP BENIFIT THEIR DAILY LIVES. SINCERLY A CONCERNED SISTER. MICHELLE

Barbara is a 67 year old woman who has raised six children alone. She 
is a retired school teacher who works whenever she can as a substitute.  
She need a car so that she can get from one school to another. Also her 
mother is 87 years old and lives in a Nursing home in a suburb of 
Illinois.. She loves her mother and would love to visit her more often.
A car would allow Barbara to work, see her mother and continue 
volunteering her time to motivate young women. She is very generous with her 
time. Wherever there is a need in her community of people she is there.  
She is a single parent, grandmother and great grandmother.  She spreads 
herself very thin...making sure that she takes the neighborhood kids to 
the joeffry ballet etc.  She is in need now  as she lost her job.  A 
car would allow her to work for her living..to go grocery shopping and to 
continue touching the lives of young women.

Monia Camp is a 27 year old young lady with cystic fibrosis. The doctors give her only a few months to live as her lungs are shot. She is in the hospital (St. Francis Hospital in Peoria, Illinois). She will be coming home soon and does not have a car. Monia has never had a great life and has never had much of anything. Her brother died at 7 years of age of cystic fibrosis. A car would help her get to Dr. appts. and just be nice for her to get out and around for what time she has left. Otherwise she is cooped up in her bedroom. All it needs is to run. Thank you for your consideration

I am writing this in reference to my mother she is 48 years old. She has a very hard time these past couple of years. She is disabled and she has no way to get around or get to doctors appointments but beside this she has taken on the responsibility of raising to of my brothers children of which he does not pay anything for and there mother has abandoned them so my mother with the kind heart she has volunteered to take them in and raise them. but with no vehicle its hard to get them on and off the public transportation and like i said she has very limited funds and I live in Tennessee so I cant help her from here but if she had a car I would feel so much better for her and those two nieces of mine I don't have the funds myself or I would get her one I figured god had sent this site to me to help her so I thought I would take a chance here. Thank you so much for your time. Sincerely,

Monica is a single parent raising 5 kids and one grandson all in the same household. Her two oldest children have varied medical problems and getting them to doctors visits is almost impossible, because the specialists are anywhere from an hour to two hours away and half the time she has to wait until friends can take her and that can be days. She lives on $100.00 a week and she has section 8 housing. There are no malls or stores near her that are close and friends don't want to drive her that far. One time her son had to wait 6 hours after morning class was over at the jr college before someone could pick him up. Where they live is a very small town in IL close to Iowa and there is no public transportation or even taxis. Alot of times the older kids have to walk to work and with the cold weather approaching it gets even harder. My friend Monica really needs the help and I have no where else to turn. Thank you for reading Monica's story. Sincerely, Mary

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read this. We are a family of 7 living in the rural area or Marseilles, Illinois. The oldest child is 7 and the youngest is 2 months. We are currently w/o a vehicle since our old 1989 safari just died. IT was the basic car being held together by duct tape. My husband is currently unemployed and can't find work since we have no car. I don't make enough to get a loan, and my job is only seasonal. After that we are back to square one. We are behind on all our bills, rent etc.... We just can't seem to get anywhere. If anyone can help us or give us some information on a way to get help in getting a vehicle we would greatly appreciate you taking the time to help us. I pray the lord will bless your giving spirit. Thank you.

####### just moved in with my husband and myself.  She has two girls 
##### 9 and ##### 6. She is also pregnant with her third child.  She will 
be losing her car soon.  She has had to leave her husband.  Her husband 
has a problem with drugs and alcohol.  
The van she is driving will be taken from her soon.  She is currently 
unemployed it will be hard to find a job until after she has the baby, 
and even then life will be financially difficult.  The car she is 
driving is already on an extension for the loan and there is no income coming 
in to pay for it, so she will be without a vehicle very soon.  She has 
moved in for a safe, new start and I am praying she will see God 
providing for her and her children in an awesome way.

Due to the fact that my mother has a breathing problem and has to carry oxygen around with her, and a wheel chair for walking has become very difficult for her. Since my dad passed away 2 years ago, I would like to be able to spend more time with my mom and do "the little things" that mean so much to her like shopping or just going to the park. Even trying to walk a little distance with her can become difficult. There is no way I could even attempt to carry a wheel chair on the bus if we went to the mall. I myself have high blood pressure and can only push the wheel chair so far. A car would truly help her and me for shopping, doctor's appointments, family outing and visits. I am in the process of trying to find employment, but with some many jobs being located in the suburbs it has been difficult for me. So a car would not only help with getting around for me and my mom, but could also help me find decent employment for a better life. Thank you for being there. God Bless.

Well it pains me to ask anyone for any kind of help and it is even worse on my husband. We have been married for almost 6 years now and have had a very rough marriage. We got married August 17th 2000. November 30th 200 our house burnt and we lost everything we owned. If it had not been for our oldest son we wouldnt have made it out ourselves. We then had a little girl born October 26th 2001 with major medical problems. She is still 5 years latter receiving care from many specialist for many different problems. Since that time we have lost our business, our home and my van. Dont get me wrong my husband works and works very hard, we just have 3 children home still and 2 grandchildren that we will be helping to raise very soon. My husband saved enough money in jan 06 to get me another van almost like the one I got reposessed and as for our usual luck we where driving it about a month ago and the engine blew. We so need a van or larger vehicle to get our children back and forth to sc hool and to there doctors appointment and so that hopefully when my daughter goes to school I can get a job. I know this is not a story that is like most but at any rate we need someones help and cant seem to find any else were. Thank you so much for listening.

My name is Lisa and I am in desperate need of a car. I have two children. My youngest is 10 months old. I have type II diabetes along with a few other medical problems such and severe arthritis in the hips. I'm a single parent in desperate need of transportation. I have so much trouble trying to make doctors appointments for myself as well as my children. Grocery shopping is almost impossible. I cannot supplement my families nutrition using the local food pantry because I do not have transportation. I cannot properly help my mom because she lives in the city and I have a lot of trouble trying to help her take care of her business making sure she has everything she needs. We cannot participate in the various after school activities and township family nights because we have no mode of transportation. People get tired of helping you and I need to shop for groceries more that once every other month when someone finds the time to take me. One the biggest troubles I have to getting my prescriptions filled. I take approximately ten medications a day so I have to get refills often. Because my diabetes fluctuates, my medications changes often. Now I have a growth on my kidney and I need to see a kidney specialist on a regular basis, but I do not have the transportation. I also need to see and endocronologist on a regular basis, but I do not have transportation. Thank you and God Bless You!

was living in a poor neighborhood in Aurora IL. I was living with a close friend of mine trying to save money. My friend was murdered walking home from another friends house at about 11:00p.m. on a Wednesday evening, my engine blew on my car and I lost my job, it has been really difficult for me to get back on my feet partially because I don't have reliable transportation to obtain secure employment. My family moved away and I am currently living in a homeless shelter in St. Charles Il. If their is any way you can help me and if it God's will, I would be very grateful. I am 21yrs. old and I will remain to keep my faith either way. Thank you all so much for your time. Merry Christmas

My friend, Robin, has a B.A. in communications, 4 kids, little (or no) 
child support and difficulty working  because her car is an old 1990 
Maxima that she bought for $300 before summer.  Then the brakes went 
out, so she left it at her ex husbands house for him to fix.  He never 
did.  Instead, neighborhood kids vandalized it, broke out the window, 
stole the radio and the brakes still don't work and now the tire is flat 
too.  She took it to a safer place and parked it until she could get it 
fixed.  Now it's been rained on (and in the windows) and in worse 
condition.  It barely ran to begin with and she only used it for less than a 
couple of hundred miles.  She can substitute teach at her kids schools, 
but can't get there.  And, now her bills are so high, she will be 
homeless soon (again).  She was homeless 2 years ago when she lost section 
8.  If she gets a new(er) car, she can work and hopefully headoff the 
disaster upon to hit her.

My name is Danielle and I need a car. I have two young children with health problems and my husband works full time. I have a 2 year old who has developmental problems and may be autsic and I have a 4 year who is a severe asthmatic. We have been through two cars in the last year. Right at this moment we are borrowing my step-father's truck. My sister is giving us a car in the near future, but we have to give back the truck. So that would leave us with only one car. I need a car so I can take my children to their doctor appointments and be able to take them places when my husband is at work. I right now depend on my mother to take me to my childrens appointments and what not. My husband doesn't make enough money for us to by another car we barely make ends meet with his paycheck. We literally live paycheck to pay check and still not make ends meet. And if I get a car I would be able to start work next fall while the children start school. A car would really help us on so many levels. Please consider halping us and giving us a car. I have been praying for an outlet nad help in the financial department. God bless in have this donation to people in need. I know that we would deeply appreciate the car and would be grateful. And I will keep praying for this contribution and if I don't get the car hopefully some one with more will obtain the car. God Bless you Thank you Danielle

My name is Jennifer , I have a two year old little girl and a five year old little boy. growing up was hard for me because my family did'nt care about me. my mother was a drug addict and an alchoholic who had no love for me from the day i was born. i was beaten and abused by my mothers many boyfriends so badly that i still have nightmares to this day. when i was fifteen i ran away from home and ended up pregnant. after i had my son i became a drug addict to ease the emotional pain, i thought it would anyways. then in 2000 i was raped and ended up pregnant again, this time with my daughter. my children are my world and they are the reason i got off drugs and tried to fix our lives. last year i got engaged to a man whom i thought to be a savior for us. he ended up beating me and emotionally abusing all of us. i have prayed to god every night that someone would come along and help us, but no one ever did. if i had my own vehicle i could get a job and a home for my children and i. you see, we lost our home and everything we owned because of that man, and all i want to do is get our lives back in order. it is impossible for me because i cant get a job without a car, and i cant get a car without a job. the only thing i want out of life is to give my children the live i never had but always wanted. please somebody, if you read this please help us, we would be forever grateful to you because you will have saved our lives. with a car we wont have to be homeless any longer. god bless those who help save others.

Hello...My name is ****** ******* & I would like to remain annoymous..Thats why I did'nt leave my phone #..I'm doing this for my friend ####### ##### for she is in desperate need. She has had a stream of bad luck most of her life. You see back in Sept. 24 of 2002 she was in a bad car accident which now leaves her on disability. She's a single mother of 2 small children and she is only 33 yrs old. She was in a recent car accident again in May 31, of 2005 which in turn totaled her only transportation that she had for her and her 2 children. You see Milani has missed all of her doctor visits and therapy sessions ever since. She is currently suffering with fibromyalgia, chronic pain disorder, GAD- generalized anxiety & PTSD- post traumatic stress. She is getting worse instead of better. She needs to receive her treatments. She is also currently going through a child custody thing cause her ex does not want her to move herself and the children to Ohio where her only family and su pport system is. So he wants the children to remain in the State of Illinois. My friend ###### is the single most loving person that I know and she would do anything for her family and friends. I feel its time somebody do something for her. She is in the worst predicament ever. She even has a donation site for help..She has tried everything imagined for help and she's run out of road. If you would like to check out her website to fully understand my friends delema Please feel free.

Hi, my name is Dawn *******. I'm submitting my own story. I grew up in the "ghetto" of Chicago's south side. My mother and I survived two fires starting over from scratch. We live in my mother's car, shelters, with friends, and family members. We eventually got on our feet. I was blessed to go to college, but didn't finish. I had too many loans and got pregnant twice. So I quit to take care of my two girls. From there I got married and I have two more children. Well, I left my husband and moved to Arkansas with my grandmother. Now I live in Carpentersville, Il in a subsidy community. Out here is wonderful, but to get around you need a car. I found a job, but the car I had is undriveable and I don't have the money to get it fix. Since then the car has been towed and no money. I'm not trying to feel sorry for myself. I can get a job. This is what I did, but my car went kapoop. If I was to be picked to receive a car, this would be a blessing for me and my children. Thank y ou for your time and please keep doing what you all are doing. God Bless!

Shanda needs a care so she can get back and forth to work she lost her job because the care she had broke down and she can not get to work. Then after the care got fixed the back windows got broke and it rans in and ruins the inside of the car. The interior has mold growing on it now. Shandas care is now broke again she is not able to work because she can not get around. Her and daughter Jackie could really use some help.

My name is Sarah and I am a breast cancer survivor since 1999. 
I just had a cancerous tumor removed from my collarbone area in about 
August of 2004 and my radiation treatment took place in October of this 
year because the tumor came right back.  I have two children and I am 
currently struggling getting around on public transportation. I am often 
stressed and in a lot of pain and most of the time, the buses and the 
els take entirely too long to get to you when you are trying to travel 
this way. Some of the other problems are needing to go grocery shopping 
and other miscellaneous shopping and it is rough trying to drag all 
these things home on the bus. I have a condition called lymphadema and my 
right arm swells up extremely and becomes very painful when I try to 
lift too many bags. To make a long story short, I would greatly 
appreciate the gift of a car because going to treatments can be hectic and too 
much activity can aggravate my condition. I hope truly that I can r
 eceive a vehicle because I truly need the help. I hope that I can get 
this help because I am in desperate need.

This was a family of three until recently Mr. King's wife abandoned her family leaving Mr. King to care for his daughter without no transportation and childcare. He works full-time in Chicago and in real jeopardy of losing his job because of lack of transportation. Mr. King was on public assistance and now has become self-sufficient and trying to do the best he can to care for his family. If you can please help him with means of transportation this would mean the world to him!

Does any one still care about the military especially marines that have already served! My husband served 22 years and his mind is messed up from the war, I feel sorry for him but I have a 1 year old and a 4 year old we desperately need a minivan because we are always traveling and moving around trying to stay close to the base for medical, and cheap benefits that we can only afford on base. I'm trying very hard to save for a minivan but its been hard, my husband cant come around us until he gets his head together, base ordered and I'm single now trying to raise two kids. When I look at the and cant get them a single van after their father served the country for 22 years i want to cry! we lost there father in the war and now we are walking!!! so much for America, but I will keep hoping, my kids didn't ask for this if you can help we will kiss the ground you walk on please contact me at 630-***-**** after December 2004 773-***=**** we really need a minivan thanks....please care about the casualties of war!

I was recently homeless for two years to be exact with two young girls, 
6mos and 4 at the time.  We were blessed after sleeping on cold back 
porches and a friend living room to find Connections for the Homeless. I 
have since found work that I was at over a year which moved in April 
2004 to far out for me to get to with out transportation.  By the grace 
of God was I able to find new work a little closer.  We do have a home 
now through all my hard work and determination and it's a pleasure not 
have to worry about being on the street as long as I can work. The  
transition from one job to the other has left me trying to survive to pay 
my rent and trying to get a car.  With two growing girls I can't do it 
all alone.  I have searched the internet here at work looking for 
someone who could help me get a car, a donated car and I found this site 
through a million that just seem to spotlight the donator.  I hope that my 
story inspires you to think about donating me a car.  I don't plan
  to give up because we got back this far, I can't stop now! I suffered 
years from Depression and I won't let it win ever, it slowed me down 
and contributed a lot to my homelessness but I can't put my girls through 
that again ever, we are looking forward and never want to return 
backwards again.  Thank you once again.

Dennis is my boyfriend and has had a rough life.  Made some bad choices 
early on with hustling, dealing and whatever else to get by.  His dad 
left the family when he was just a child.  His mom passed away last year 
and she was his rock.  He is trying now to get his life in order, get a 
job the honest way.  Unfortunately, he needs a car to get to a job, yet 
he needs money to get a car.  It is a vicious cirlce he is in.  He is 
trying so hard to do things honestly and I'm just afraid that he will 
eventually resort to going back to the streets with the possiblity of 
something happening to him.  He is 22 and has his whole life ahead of him 
and he has so much potential to make something of himself.  The biggest 
thing keeping him from all of this is a car.  I pray that your 
organization can help him in some way :-)

To whom it may concern, My name is Grace , the reason for this letter is because I've had the unfortunate experience of losing my dodge truck due to unexpected occurrences in my life. This past October my Durango was repossessed. In June 2000, due to health issues I had to resign from my job. I was eligible to receive unemployment benefits but once the benefits exhausted I was unable to maintain my payments. I'm writing this letter asking for any form of assistance from your organization. I'm not just a person who is asking for a "free hand-out". That truck was so instrumental not only in my life but also the lives of others. The vehicle served as a church bus to take home those without transportation and I was a designated driver for the church's personal business matters. Additionally, it was used for field trips and other activities for the children. I know you may ask, Why can't the church buy or replace transportation for me? Good question. At this particular time the ministry is not financially able. However the actions or responsibilities that I've listed were not something that I was asked to do. I gave my life to Christ a month or two before I purchased that truck, and since that time my life began to change drastically for the better and it was just in my heart to not only give back to God but do what I could for the people that were instrumental in my life.Finding your site was so encouraging to me. I'm not just asking for a free hand-out, I'm asking for the opportunity to continue to serve my leaders, children that depend on me, and just people that i'm in posotion to help. I'm not even sure if I'm forwarding this letter to the person who is empowered to help me, but I ask if I have not reached that person that it is submitted to the correct department. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I look forw ard to speaking with you soon. God Bless,
