Donate cars in Pennsylvania

I am actually requesting this car on my own behalf and for the safety of children. I have 3 year old twin daughters and my husband works very hard but we can't afford a car and i can't afford to work and pay for childcare so i am a stay at home mom. Last year my brother was injured in a car accident on his way to work and he suffered severe brain injuries as well as the loss of his left leg. At the time i owned a 97 dodge neon, i was terrified to put my children back in that small car so i sold it and bought an 87 volvo (yes a 20 year old car) because it seemed safer and i couldn't afford an SUV or a bigger safer vehicle. Well a few months ago my 20 year old car broke, my husband got laid off from his job and i have had no car. we live in a residential area and i go weeks without leaving the house because i don't have a car and as a carpenter my husband has a pick up truck that the children can't ride in. We get by but it is really hard not having a car and we can't aff ord to buy one every time we start to save for one we need to use the money for something else (food, bills ect.). A friend of mine told me i should look on the web to see if i could find a cheap car but i found this web site and although i know there are many people out there who need a vehicle i think i need one just as much when the kids get sick i can't just take them to the doctor, i have to call family and friends and try to find a ride, then i have to put car seats in and out of other peoples cars, also if there were ever an emergency i couldn't get in a car and go to the hospital. I can't just take the kids and go visit someone so we spend all our time in the house and with 3 year old twins that can be rough sometimes. i know that everyone struggles at some time in their life and that it won't always be this way and some day i intend to donate a car to someone else in need but today, i am need. Sincerely, Diana

I am a single mother of four wonderful children. One who suffers from M.R, M.S, and who is legally blind. He is sixteen years old, and is wheel chair bound. However over the past year our lives changed drastically. It became difficult to transport my son in relatives vehicles,it's been hard to visit places because of our situation. I am an academic student in college, trying to provide a better life for my four children and I. It would be a honor if their's a person who have a van that is wheel chair assessable, for the convience of transporting my child. Thank you for taking the time to read my note! Mom

About 1 year ago my father kicked me out of my house and Dawn took me in as my mother and guardian. About 1 month ago i was taking her daughter to the doctors and we got into a car accident and completely crushed the car. Since the accident she hasn't had a car and she needs one to go to work and the doctors for her children. I think Dawn would be a good choose for a car.

I am a single parent of two special needs children my oldest son being 9 who is adhd and pdst and my youngest son 8 that is autistic. Our family endured a tragedy the day before Easter that will are still struggling to overcome the effects of. Our house had burnt down and we lost all the possessions we had. Over the next few months we had downfalls to where the stable job I had was lost and we were forced to live with friends to manage. It didnt seem like there was a break of hope in the future for us. That break did finally come when I found a better job and moved to coraopolis pa and we have started the slow climb to rebuild our lives. Since getting my new job and new house we have had to depend on friends for transportation with many months of bills and expenses to catch up on and only being on my second pay a car new used or otherwise seems like a far and distant illusion of the future. Being able to have a car would help us as a family be more independent and not rely on others when I need to go to work ,my children need to go to the doctor or something as simple as picking them up from school it would be something that would make our Christmas seem one of miracles Thank you for hearing my story

I write this story on behalf of my family because we don't know many people and we try to keep to our selves we are a family of 6, two adults and four kids we are a low income family who struggles to make it month to month and we only get paid once a month it does not make things easier on us we make constant trips to Pittsburgh Pa. it is a 2 and a half hour drive there and 2 and a half back and doctor appointments at all times for the others if they get sick we have to rely on a family members or neighbor and do not always have the money for their gas. I am trying to help my family the best I can but no matter who I call or email, nobody will help me I am being honest and not just writing a sob story for some one to feel bad for me I am a honest person, I am just trying to help my family so we can grossary shop and take out the kids occasionally it is hard to ask some one to take you every where you got to go. Please help us so we can rely on our selves and not others I wou ld greately appreciate it. Jacob

As a single mother of two children that works over an hour away from home just to take car of my children. I lost my job in May 2006 unfortunately I could not find anything close to home. I currently work for Aetna Health Insurance. I love my job because I get t6o help people all day whether it is getting their medication approved or just adding a newborn child to their policy. It feels great to help others everyday. I am working slowly toward obtaining my degree as a Clinical pharmacist. My dream is to stay with Aetna and eventually work with the poor and elderly with their specialty drug program located in Florida. Over the pass two years I have went from being homeless to having my own house witch I rent and a job I love. I always try to help others in need if it is just to a ride to the store or just teaching Sunday school at my church which I also enjoy. With a car I would be able to get to work and school as well as help out more at church and trips.

Tonya has two daughters, her 4 yr. old is in remission right now from 
Leukemia and her other daughter who is 3 yrs. old was diagnosed with 
mild hydrocephoulas, but is doing better now. She always has to borrow her 
parents car to take her daughters to their Dr. Appts. and to go 
anywhere else with them. It would be nice if she did'nt have to depend on them 
since they need their car also,She has been thru alot with her 
daughters the past three and half years. 
It would make it alot easier on her if she did'nt have to depend on her 
parents to get her and her daughters to where she needs to go all the 
time, especially to her daughters Dr. Appts.  Thank You!

I am a 65 year old woman with COPD (severe asthma) and am on Social Security. I only used my car for less than 1,000 miles last year. It's a 1986 Dodge Diplomat and is so rusted out that it's dangerous on the road. It cannot be repaired. I need a vehicle for groceries and doctor visits. I don't have the money for a vehicle, and my family doesn't live/work close enough for them to be able to help me out. If I didn't have so many prescriptions and other expenses I might be able to pay a small payment but my credit also is poor.

She is a 26 year old single mother who works very hard and long hours to take care of her child. She lives out here in Allentown and has no family only her and her daughter. Just last year march 2005 her mother passed away at the age of 42 and she worked to support her, her mother and her daughter while her mother was on hospice. Just recently she was in accident and lost her only source of transportation. So now she has to take 2 different busses to get her daughter to the baby sitters house and then come to work. I know having a vehicle would definitely change her life being as though next year will be her daughters first year of school and she can hopefully drive her to and from there.

I hope I don't sound selfish as this is for myself i am 50 years old and most of my life i have always gave even if I ran short I used to work in the human service field and tried to help as many as I could I even have past clients that say I changed or saved their life that still stay in touch with me but now I am in need I fell 10 years ago and damaged my spine it keeps getting worse and turned into spodilios and arthritis I can only walk a few feet so I had to get a hoveround chair problem is no way to take it any where I had a old van that I was going to try to fix up but they said it not worth it,,, I live on a small income I worry about my daughters and 5 grandkids one of which has angelmans sydrum and is very hard to take care of I have nothing for christmas for them and that kills me I have always had gifts for them any ways if you can help in any way I would be grateful thank you god bless

recently ###### was living in Florida with his uncle trying to straighten 
out his life when his father { his best friend} suddenly died of a 
heart attack. He was heart broken because his dad was the only person who 
he talked to in his family. his mother is now turning ill and he has 3 
siblings. When the mother passes ###### is to pick up the responsibility 
of raising his sibling that are between the ages 8-14. He has 
finally got his life together and moved into an apartment of his own that he 
is struggling to pay for. he is working and making less 
then 9 dollars an hour and is unable to get another job due to the fact 
he has no vehicle what so ever. his family refuses to help him out and 
i truly believe that he deserves it. he had made it so far that he can 
get a job as an electrician and have a career if only he had a vehicle. 
so im asking you please from the bottom of our hearts please help him 
out. the man has been through so much these past 2 years that he co
 uld us it. thank you very much

I met Michele when I was 13 years old and she was 11, I am now 30 and she is 28 years of age. Within these 17 years she has endured a struggle that I never would have thought she would over come by the time she turned 12 years old she had gotten raped by an older cousin, from then on she was taken from her mother at 16 moved from place to place had a child at the tender age of 19 who was then brutally beaten and murdered at 16 months while Michele was going to school trying to better her life for the both of them. Michele fell into somewhat of a deep depression not knowing that she was pregnant with her now 6 year old son with whom she was homeless for almost 2years of his younger life. Now Michele is working and has to leave her home sometimes at 6am to get to work by 830am and its very hard for her to leave her child with someone so that he could get to school. If she had a car that would ease her worries 100% as far as the well being of her son and she can take him to school and pick him up.

Hello, I know it is not exactly right but i would like to nomminate myself for a car. I am 24 years old and with one child and I am married. My husband and I are and have been struggling for the past few years. I just actually have been able to barely afford a house which i share with my brother. Moving from the city will be a great opportunity for my family and I.The city i come from itsn't a place anyone would want to be even just to visit. I am moving out of a house of where I lived with my aunt and her 5 five children. I am now employed but it is only a temp position, I travel right now by bus and subway train but when i move things get futher away from me and the route for me to get to work and to do my normal things would just make it a little bit harder. Especially because i work in Delaware and my son will be going to school in phoenixville so something better has to come for me because i wouldn't be able to get there fast enough god forbid if anything was to happen. I've even looked into places that sell donated cars but i just don't have enough money. I'm not asking for anything luxurious i am just in need of something that will get me from point A to point B and thats it. If anyone has a car that they would like to get rid of even if it is a fee i would be able to pay something it might not be alot but that would really help me out. Thanks again

mildly autistic. She now lives in public housing in Fairchance, pa a 
vehicle for this family would be a blessing. she is a good mother and is 
trying to make a better life for her children. a car would help take her 
children to doctor apt and to the store and activities for the children. 
Sherri's mother passed away June 2005 She helped take care of her 
mother until she passed away. and also did volunteer work with the 
Masontown, salvation army so this why I feel she would be a good candidate for 
this program. thank you

I run the Philadelphia DV hotline and I am starting a mobile crisis unit and am in need of a van.

My name is Mary, and I have recently been diagnosed with Bipolar/Manic Depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I am enrolled in a Dual Diagnosis Intensive Outpatient Program, but it is 20 miles from my home. In June 2005 my ex-fiancee' bought me a car and convinced me he would take care of the monthly payment and insurance. I found out about a month ago that the loan was 5 months behind so I went to our local Assistance Office for help in purchasing another vehicle because my car was going to be repossessed. The welfare office helped me get a really good reliable vehicle through a buy-here pay-here dealer; however the dealer failed to inform me that I had to carry full coverage insurance. I had to drive 3 1/2 hours to get custody of my 12 yr old son Kody who I have been fighting for the last 3 yrs, and on our return home I hit a deer and totaled the car! I only carried liability insurance so I am responsible for this vehicle. I have no money to either repair or pay for the car. My only income right now is cash assistance from welfare; however I have applied for Social Security, but even with both of those the funds will not be available. My son was unable to get any of his belongings and I need to get him school clothes, items for school, shoes, etc. He also wears glasses and is in desperate need of a new pair. I have been trying to contact my caseworker at the welfare office to see where I can go for a donated vehicle, but it's very difficult reaching him. Kody and I would so very much appreciate any help you may be able to offer! I am at the end of the road and have no where else to turn. I pray that God will touch your hearts so as to help us in some way! Thank you and God Bless!!

My name is Eric #######. Back in 1992 I was in a car accident and I now have permanent nerve damage and herniated discs in my lumbar and cervical spine, I am on Disability and only make $574 a month. Due to my back/neck herniated discs and the multiple nerve damage throughout my body, I am totally disabled and receive SSI. We get food stamps from welfare and $205 otherwise we wouldn't survive monthly. I am married for 5 years now to my wife Michele. About three years ago she found out she has diabetes and from there on her life has been getting worse. She has Stenosis of the spine and Radiculopathy and now cant walk for more then a few feet and she now uses a wheelchair. For the past couple of years her sister has allowed us to borrow her car to get to our many doctor appointments we both have, but the car died and now we are without one. We don't make enough money to go out and buy one, and there is no one else to borrow from, so now we don't know what to do. We need const ant medical attention from doctors, hospitals, etc and can't be without transportation. So I came online to search for a way to get a free car and I found this website which I thought was a blessing and an answer to our problems.

My friend has been working hard all of her life. She is married and has children at home, grown children, and a grandchild. Her husband works hard, too, but they only have one vehicle and that makes it very difficult for both of them to get to their jobs when their jobs are in different parts of the area. They have struggled for many years while working very hard at their jobs and raising their family. My friend has also volunteered a lot of her time to Boy Scouts and other services. Some days she has had to take the bus and gets stuck because the bus doesn't run after a certain time, she's had to walk in the very cold winter to work - which isn't close. This family could really use a second vehicle and it would greatly benefit not just their lives, but the lives my friend helps as well. Thank you for your consideration, Brenda

Well my friend Jeremiah has been living with me and my mom for about 1 year and he has helped us out a lot. He just got fired from his job and can't afford a car and i think it would be nice for him to get something nice for once the way it would change his life is that he is trying to start his own business and a car would help him out because that is the only thing holding him back. I would like it if you can help him out please he is a grate person with a really big hart. thank you for your time Cindy

My sister and her daughter only have each other so when she decide to move away from Philadelphia in order to give her daughter a better chance at a good education she didn't realize that it will be so hard to get her life back on track. since moving to Sellersville she has continued her education but she only sees her daughter on weekends. my mother who also lacks transportation lives across the hall from Twonda and watches Mone m-f while Twonda stays down here( philly) so that she can finish her degree. this car will not only give my sister her relationship with her daughter back it will allow her to earn a better living, she has an excellent customer service background and is very good with other people, i just want some one to finally be good to her... thank you for your time,

Hello, I was at work this evening looking on the internet for any type of help in finding a vehicle and ran into your site and thought what a blessing this would be if you were able to help me. First before I get into my story I would like to say thank you, and let you know what you are doing is truly a great and important deed. When people do not have vehicles it takes away there independence and wears on there self esteem. So i do believe that the cause you are working on should be congratulated. I am a 22 year old young lady who has been struggling for 2 years now. when I was 20 my parents sat me down and told me that I had to go out into the world and find my own way because of financial hardship. My mother and step father have 5 children all together so I understood. I went out and got a efficiency apartment and lived there for a year. Hardest year of my life! (smile) I dealt with mice, and when I say mice I mean MICE, everywhere! They would eat my food and just made living there unbearable. In addition to that the location was horrible. But what doesn't kill you makes you stronger! I recently moved into a apartment complex, still not the greatest area but a long way from the other place. And here I am now. The reason i am applying is because I recently got a new job which for now is part time but I will begin full time some time next year when the other building opens. I choose to stay here because of the opportunities I could have in my future with this company. But in the mean time I am struggling everyday to make it to work. And because my bills out weigh my pay check it is impossible for me to get a vehicle. In addition to that I honestly have no money to pay for my ride to and from work any more and now i am in danger of losing my job, and because of that i could lose my apartment too. I am sure that there are people out there who deserve a car more then me, and i would never want to take from them but if you come across a vehicle that could help me, i would greatly appreciate it. I would be grateful for anything you could do for me. Thank you, and keep up the good work.

You received a letter on September 15, 2005 about a family who is in desperate need of some help with getting a new wheelchair lift van or getting the one they were donated fixed. I am writing to you about the same family. This family has at least 6 medical related trips out of town this month alone. The 2nd to the youngest, has surgery scheduled for the 10th of this month, the youngest, Nicolas, has surgery scheduled for the 15th in Danville as well as many other pre-op and regular medical appointments. Even the Dad has to have surgery in Pittsburgh on the 29th. You may recall the other letter from a different friend of the family explaining about the situation this family is in. It is now even more important that they get some help somewhere, somehow from someone, I am praying you may be that special person or group. You see, now the radiator has to be replaced in the van they now have. They just don't have the money to get it fixed and I know there has to be someone o ut there who wants and is able to help. To be honest the radiator is really the least of this van's problems but, just to be able to even get anywhere it will have to be replaced somehow. Let me give you a little insight on this family, my 2 children and myself and my boyfriend found ourselves "homeless" about 4 or 5 weeks ago and she invited all of us to come stay until we are back on our feet. At first my boys were staying with my parents in Altoona and not enrolled in school, she told me to go get them and get them enrolled in school. This family of 6 jumped to 10 overnight. We are a little cramped but, she always says "the more the merrier". Please do not overlook this letter as I am asking you to help them as they have helped us. I don't expect a new van to be in the driveway. I can only hope you could at least find it in your heart to give them a donation or something to help with the van situation. (he can not go anywhere without his van with the lift for his wheelchair) I understand everyone has "dug deep" for the Katrina victims but there is a family right here that is just as important. They are struggling just to get by and she cries every day worrying there might not even be a visit from Santa this year. Please help them any way you can either to get the one they have fixed or even get a better one. The van needs to be full sized because his nurses go everywhere he goes and all of his equipment goes as well. They can transfer the lift to a different one. Maybe we could make this Holiday season just a little better for this family. I know they would be truly grateful. Thank you very much,

my mom is raising 4 children on her own,she has all her life with no help from any one and we are so proud of her she has struggled all her life to take care of us found ways to make sure we had every thing we needed and she has done this on minimum wge and on public asst.she no longer recieves asst.but my mom gets so stressed out and it hurts cause she could never own a car that wasnt old and always in need of repairs,we own one now but uts a 93 mercury cougar with rear wheel drive and we live on ahill and its always breaking down or leaking oil or something and my mom is always spending so much money on this car just for it to break down. im i9 and my one brother is 20 we wont leave home till we know mom is all right we help with the bill and are house we rent is old and we just cant afford to save up for a newer nicer car for her so i thought maybe you could help and make our chrismas dream come true and make my mom very happy this sure would help us tremendosly and we would be so greatful.three of us work and one go to school andits just so hard when the car breaks down were all scared will lose our job some day because of no transportation its just so strssfull on my mom.it makes me so sad we cant do more for her. thanks for listening and may be our christmas wish will come true thank you again samantha

My name is Catherine, and I would like to submit my church as a possible recipient of one of your vehicles. We are a ministry that's been in existence for @ 7 years, and we've had our share of trials. We recently relocated to a new town, and we're in need of a van to provide transportation to members that don't have a car of their own. The church van that we had is no longer in operation, and it is very difficult to get those with a desire to serve God to the house of God. Our new church home is @ 20-25 minutes away from our former place of worship. Unfortunately, this has caused some of the sheep to scatter. I truly believe that if we receive a van from your ministry (what you are doing is a ministry!!), our ministry would flourish again. Those who have been called to service under Greater Faith Ministries wouldn't have to worry about how they would get to church. Our church has been praying for God to bless us with transportation, and I truly believe that our prayer s will be answered in His time. Thanks and God bless you. Catherine

My name is Lydia Dively, and I am writing to tell you about a very deserving man, my dad Andrew. Throughout my life he has been an inspiration to me by never giving up. My dad has always been a hard worker being a farmer you have to be. He started working on the farm when he was a child and worked on it until we had to sell about nine years ago. After that although he was ill he still worked at a feed mill until he no longer could because of back problems. Although back surgery is bad it is not all that my dad has endured throughout his life. In 1991 my dad had to have a kidney transplant, although as soon as he was able he felt it necessary to get back to work to support his family of four at the time. In 1996 he became ill again but this time he had cancer in one of his native kidneys and so it had to be removed. About a year after this surgery we sold our farm. He worked throughout the next six years, although he was ill. In 2001 he had cancer for a second time it was skin cancer. He worked until 2002 when he had to have back surgery because of a herniated disk. In 2002 he also had to have more skin cancer removed. In 2003 he had his gall bladder removed. Then in April of this year he had cancer in his other biological kidney and had to have it removed. He has had some recent bad news he is going to have to have another kidney transplant. Dad is also prone to blood clots throughout his body. I feel he is deserving of an automobile because my parents have a car that has seen many better days. They make about 5- 6 trips over three hours every month to Pittsburgh so that he can go to his doctors’; appointments. He also travels to his doctors’ in our area that are 20 miles away in Altoona 1-3 times a week. When I turned 16 I got very sick and I was out of school for about 4 months. I had ear infections and I had cysts in my sinuses that caused many problems. My dad and my mom were there throughout the whole thing. I knew that I could look up to my dad’s example of just praying, moving forward and doing my best. I know that my dad has a big heart because not only have my parents been married 23 years, but he also adopted my sister who came with a dark background of her own. We have all learned a lot from my dad. We have learned many lessons that will carry on throughout our lives. I think the most important lesson he has taught us is although some times are bad keep on trying to become a better person. My older brother Abishia has just finished school with a degree in computers’, I am currently a student at Lock Haven University striving to attain a degree in Special Education, and my younger sister Melinda is currently a fifth grade student who is involved in cheerleading and also basketball. My dad still goes to many of the events that we are involved in and I know that as long as he is still with us he will continue to be involved in our lives. This is an example of just how much my dad loves our family. He told me his leg hurt this year a day before the fourth of July but he did not want to spoil the picnics for the rest of us so he would not go to the doctor. He waited until the last firework went off to tell my mom to take him to the emergency room. The doctors found a blood clot in his leg. That is the kind of man my dad is always thinking first of everyone else although I know that he was in a lot of pain. This is why I feel my dad is deserving of a free automobile because although he has had some rough times he never lets it show he always puts on a strong face, so that his family will not be afraid, although I know he is terrified inside just like the rest of us.

i am a single mom attending college full time but i do not have a vehicle. it's unbelievable how complicated life can be without transportation. i am hoping that i can be considered as a candidate to receive a car and information about the processes involved to achieve this. thank you very much Jody

Hard times. Well, a nasty divorce, getting credit ruined by the ex. I drive a wheel chair bus, transporting the elderly and dying. I don't get paid much, and live 50 miles from work, and in the past have been hurt, and on workers compensation, from numbness, sprained shoulder, sprained back. My employer though, makes me drive those 50 miles for treatment. After my divorce, my father loaned my his extra car, 7 yrs old, but, now he wants it back. He's having financial difficulties as well. I've had new cars and total beaters over my life...I had a 79 Cadillac, sold it a few months back for cash, should a kept it. If I can't obtain wheels, of any kind, soon, I'll get thrown off workers comp, and never be able to get to work.... Thanks for listening. Matt

the father of the baby is in jail. she has not been able to find a job 
yet and is on public assistance. our total income for the household is 
900 a month. she has a car but it is over 1000 dollars in repairs. it's 
not drivable.
