Debbie is my 29 yr old daughter. she has been on dialysis
for 4 yrs.
due to polycystic kidney disease. she needs a kidney transplant. we dont
have much money, but we do what we can for her. she's been to hell and
back at such a young age and has been in such high spirits through it all
i am writing you now because we have a really hard time with
transportation. she sometimes will miss her treatments because its so hard to
get
to the hospitals and then ends up getting sick. please if possible pick
her to donate a car to as long as she can get to her treatments and
home safely is all that matters. god bless you all and the terrific work
you all do..
Las Vegas
I am disabled due to various illnesses including heart
disease. My
daughter, has had 3 failed gastric bypass surgeries and her 4th gastric
repair surgery almost killed her as she suffered from pancreatitis and
almost died after her gall bladder was removed without reason. My daughter
has a congenital birth defect of both feet and ankles, where she is
missing cuneiform and cuboids bones and is unable to walk normal distances
without pain...We relocated from New York to Las Vegas seeking
affordable cost of living. We have no car and the public transportation is
unreliable in Las Vegas. Life is harder because of lack of transportation
but the cost of living is cheaper than New York on my limited Social
Security Income. I work part-time to make ends meet and am having
difficulty getting to work by bus. I put every dime I have into this move and
have nothing for a used car at this time. Please...Can you provided
assistance?

We are in desperate need of a vehicle. My husband has planned on going
into the Military, due to problems he will not be able to join until
July 06. We are currently living with my father and are looking for work.
But being it gets so hot here it is hard to walk anywhere. We would
really like to get on with our lives, because we don't have a job it is
really hard to get money to buy a decent car.Thank you for your time and
listening to our story. We hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you,

I just gave birth to a new baby girl 3 months ago. I feel I deserve a
car that is reliable and safe for me and her. I’ve had a pretty tough
life growing up from foster homes to group homes from the age of 12. I am
now only 21 years old and on welfare and unemployed trying to get my
life together to provide a future for my new daughter Zipporah. It makes
it very difficult for me to work because of the never ending problems
with my car. Right now, I own a 1994 Jetta Volkswagen that have too many
electrical problems that just don’t seem to get any better each time I
bring it to a car shop. Not only my engine broke down on randomly
numerous occasions when it was used to get to work and back, the windshield
wipers, the air conditioning, and heating also stopped working as well.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the extra money and time to keep up with
this car because I have a new baby to take care of first. Also, this
vehicle automatically unlocks itself sometimes and when it happened
when I stayed in Pomona, CA. I was robbed of all of my belongings
including my newborn clothes that I had packed away for me and her two days
before we moved to Nevada and begin a new life. Now we start from
scratch. Ever since I owned this car it seems to have brought me nothing but
bad luck. I need to be able to transport my infant to doctors for check
ups and shots, I need to be able to work and be back home for my
daughter in a timely matter because it’s hard for me to find somebody who can
watch her, and I am always in fear of my car breaking down and causing
a bigger problem like an accident. I just want to say, Thank you for
your time in reviewing this matter. Any help would be gratefully
appreciated and be considered a blessing. Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New
Year!

My friends Adam n Anita desperately need a vehicle. Adam was driving home one night in his couple year old min van when a teenage boy on a bike came out of nowhere right in front of him. He was in the far right lane and the boy was coming out of a residential area. Adam swerved right to miss the boy hitting a telephone pole instead (saving the boys life). His full coverage insurance only paid about 82% because Adam had no gap insurance. Two months later Adams grandfather was diagnosed with cancer and had 6 months to live. Adam and Anita gave up their 150,000 dollar home and sold almost everything to got take care of his grandpa till he passed of cancer. Due to their unselfish sacrifice he never had to spend a night in a hospital and died at home as he wished. Ever since and they have struggled relentlessly to get back on their feet to no avail. they live in an apt. now and have been without a car for 6 months. Please help these two they are good people and reall y deserve a helping hand from god , Santa, or anyone with a heart and the means to help.
Anne-Marie is my grandmother. She has had a hard life in the past
few
years. My mother passed away 8 years ago, and my Aunt Debbie had a
stroke 2 years ago. In addition to all of this, my grandfather lost his
eyesight, is now in a wheelchair and unable to do a lot of things for
himself.
Currently, they use a paratransit bus or taxi to get to his drs.
appointments (of which he has a lot). Although my grandmother drives, she
doesn't have a car. She just can't afford one.
When my aunt had her stroke, it was my grandmother who took care of her
in addition to working and caring for my grandfather. As a result, she
lost her job, and now has no health insurance for herself.
Even though paratransit is great, it's hard for both of them. She
needs to make the appointment at least one day in advance, and sometimes
the bus picks them up 2 hrs. before the appointment time, they go to the
appointment, and has to wait to be picked up anywhere from 1/2 hr to 2
hrs after that. If they are lucky there are no other pickups or
dropoffs. So a drive that would take 10 min. there, 1/2 for the
appointment
and 10 min. home can take up to 5 1/2 hrs.
When she does her regular grocery shopping she takes the regular bus
(she has to walk 2 blocks to the bus stop), because the paratransit only
allows 3 grocery bags she has to take a cab home.
In addition to that, she helps me and her other grandchildren whenever
she can, and she just found out that she's going to be a
great-grandmother.
My grandfather is on social security, and my grandmother had to take
early social security. There is a very limited income for them.
Please,
they can really use a car. Thank you.
