Donate cars in South Carolina

I am submitting this story on my own behalf. I have been down on my luck trying to hold it down as a single parent who never asked anyone for anything unless i really needed it. i have a 15 year old son who is striving to be someone in this world and i take my last and give him because i want him to have the things that i could not have growing up. i am sort of homeless at the time going from home to home. trying to make ends meet. i was in a car accident a few days ago and the driver that hit me did not have any insurance,identification, addresss, nothing. now i am out of a car hoping that my insurance company will help me out. going back and forth to the doctor because i have minor injuries. i can go back to work until i am better my job requires that i be on my feet for long periods of time. and using my hands. I basically have nowhere to turn. I have to catch rides. there is not a cab service where i live. i live about 25 minutes from the nearest town. i really need a car .please help me. if i did not need a car i would not ask. you also would be helping my son. god bless you all. thank you

My name is Travis , I found out that I am diabetic in 2004. I am only working part time making just barely enough to pay my rent and buy groceries. My fiancé is living with me and her hours at her job has been cut drastically. We are in the midst of trying to get a business started but it is moving very slowly with funds limited for advertising the business. We only have one vehicle which tore up on 9/8/2006 as we were coming home from buying a few groceries. Thanks to my manager where I work, he let me borrow his truck to drive until we can get the car looked at. It is my only hope and prayer that ya'll would consider helping out with a car.

This lady has had some hard time. She is in her sixties she lost her home, husband, car. She was in a very bad accident and when she she got out of the hospital after a month her husband was to come home from the hospital but died on the way home. She then was not able to face the finaces of buying a car and also had lost her home. She does have an apartment now. She has to depend on anyone who can take her to get groceries, doctors and church. It will make her independent again and she will be able to drive herself to and from church and the doctors office. She still has her SCDL. God bless you

Mary is a single mother of two little girls. she had to have heart surgery in April, and as a result, lost her job and her car. she is well now, but can not work because she has no transportation. she has always provided for her children in the past, and is finding it difficult not to be able to do so now. since June, she has had a couple of jobs that she has been unable to keep because she has no dependable transportation. as a result, she may loose her home. Mary is always ready to help others in need, but is finding it hard to ask for help now that she needs it. I hope your organization will be able to help her.

St Georgei am a single mother of two with no job. I am very independent so it was very hard to have to pack up my house and move in with someone else. my oldest daughter was a twin. her brother died when he was three months old and my daughter has had health problems ever since. I lost my job because I had no one to help take care of my kids when they got sick, especially my oldest kalyn, who is 4. I moved around the Charleston sc area because the job market was more open than where I was. when I found a job my transmission in my car went and I have no money and know no one that could help me out. I am desperate and cannot get a job without reliable transportation and cant get transportation without a job. the state will not help with daycare to go find a job, I have to be working. So i am in a dilemma that shows no hope. thank you for your time.

This lady is very sweet she married this guy who made her lose everything she had worked for for forty six years. She lost four thousand foot home two new cars etc..

My aunt Diane need a car because she has diabetes and other serious 
health problems that require that she go to the doctor.  

She is a Christian woman who enjoys attending church on Sunday and 
Bible study on Wednesday.
She has no way to the grocery store and to the pharmacy to get her 
medicine.
She is a very sweet person who enjoys doing things for people and with 
people.
If you can help her it would be greatly appreciated.

David is a Senor In Chapman High School. He does alot of sports and after school activities. He works very hard to keep up with all he does but he has many dilemmas. One of them being that his parents only have one car a 1986 Nissan Maxima that is really not in that good of shape and is only used for his dads work car. And his father works 3rd shift in a freezer/mill for stoffers. His family hardly has any money and they have no credit. But all three years of his high school life he has excelled and worked hard to achieve good grades and make it to his after school events. He does Cross country, wrestling, and Track and field. In every one of those sports he has to stay after school for 2 and a half hours. He then has to walk from the school 2 miles to his house. He does chorus after school and on Tuesdays he stays at school with nothing to eat till 8:00. He is so tired when he finnaly does get home that he goes strait to bed. Ive heard his mother get mad at him cause didnt turn in his homework the next day but I really dont see how thats possible. Now he wants a job to get his own money but no one will take him back and forth and he cant get money to buy a car to get back and forth to a job. And since he doesnt have a job he doesnt have a car. His parents dont have the money to buy him a car either. What really gets me though is that he said if he doesnt have a car by next year he isnt going to do any after school sports or chorus. He enjoys it all but he has told me that he doesnt like walking so far home on the dark road afraid. Something else that Im scared of is that he has said if he doesnt have a car before the end of school that he wasnt going to college. And his whole life has been set on going to college. Despite all that ,he doesnt get to go out to the mall with his friends cause he has no way. He told his girl friend that he couldnt see her anymore when school ended cause there was no way to come see her during the summer. He is also a very smart kid and can build and fix computers. He got invited to represent SC in a technology fair but since he had no way to columbia he couldnt go. I just wish you can help him he is starting to get depressed cause he is afraid that all the things he loves are going to go down the drain next year if he doesnt have a car. And Im afraid that if he doesnt hurry and gain some independance that he is never going to get to enjoy his teenage years. He only has 3 left. Please do what you can Thank you for hearing me out, you might be his savior Stephanie

About two years ago, my sister was diagnosed with having Multiple 
Sclerosis.  She was only 22, and was devasted about her prognosis.  
Although, she is doing well at the time, there still remains a chance, 
that she could become ill at any time.  And, to add to the stress that she 
is already enduring, she lives with her four-year-old daughter, in a 
small town with no public transportation.

     Marquita spends her days in her small two bedroom apartment, for 
weeks at a time.  But, it isn't because it is by choice.  It is because 
there is no one to take her anywhere.  She misses nearly all 
appointments to her doctors, and I have to drive nearly 60 miles,just to take her 
grocery shopping.  I love my sister, but between my job, kids, and the 
distance we live apart, it is nearly impossible for me to be around 
during the week, when she needs me most.

     I can't say for sure, but it must also be hard on her child.  
Although, she is loved very much by her mother, and she does visit with her 
father from time to time, they definitely need to get out together to 
do "fun" things.  There has also been times when her daughter has become 
ill,because she suffers from asthma, and she has needed to take her to 
the ER.  The only advice she was offer by others, was to call the 
ambulance.  And, because she couldn't get anyone to drive her 15 miles, she 
called emergency rescue. 
 
     I have done my part, by helping her to get her license, but it's 
possible for me to get her the car.  I'm hoping that by telling you this 
story, that you might be able to offer some assistance.

Hello. My name is Josie.  I am 25 years old.  I have a five month old 
baby boy named Austin.  I work at Walmart as a cashier.  My mother helps 
get me back and forth to work when she can although it is hard on her 
because she has a serious heart condition, diabetes, kidney failure.  
She also helps me watch the baby while I am at work.  Sometimes it is 
hard to get to work and also get the baby to the doctor when he has to go.  
I would like to further my education so that I can provide a better 
life for my child.  Please help if you can.
