Bernard is a 41 year old disabled man. He was homeless up until, March of 1999. He had
saved up enough money to rent his current residence. He is not able to afford to buy a car with
the amount of money that disability issues him every month. He has to pay people to take him to
the grocery store every month and then worry about being left at the store . He is afraid that
they will drive off with his groceries. That is why I feel Bernard deserves a free car.

Cars 4 Christmas,
Linda is a caring loving person. During the weekdays and weekends she takes older ladies
that don't have family members to places where they need to go. They are usually people that
are unable to drive due to not knowing how to or health reasons. They are people that are of
ages that range from 60 to 65. When her car broke down she arranged for someone else to take
them. Most of the time she has to pay that person to do it. I know your probably saying why not
take the bus. She had told me she enjoys their company and they told her that they feel a lot
more comfortable being with her. She doesn't ask for anything in return because she knows what
its like to be on a limited budget herself. If I could afford it I would buy her a new car
because I am one of those people she takes everywhere on Saturday mornings or in a emergency. I
ask her all the time how I could repay her. She said you have already repaid me. I sat there
wondering how, she said just by you being happy. She is the best thing that has happened to me.
Please if you give her a car I would really appreciate it. Not only would she be grateful but
alot of other people who love her would be grateful too.
Please we would like to remain confidential as to who we are. There are so many of us she
could never guess. Thank You The Elderly

My daughter Angie ****** has been having a hard time the last 2 years. She is a very caring
person. She tries to help everyone and gets shit on. Last year she let her friend she thought,
use her car and this friend wrecked it and didn't offer to help. She lost her job cause she had
no way to work then she lost her house. Now she is staying with me I am her mother. I am
disabled. I used to depend on her taking me to my doctor appointments but now she cain't. And
if all thats not bad enough her kids dad kidnaped them its been on TV maybe you seen it ,
Savannah and Austin O'Leary and she has no way to go find them and no way to find a job cause
she has no way to go and being in a smaller town there is not much job's in town. So please
consider her for a car for xmas. She deserves something good in her life right now. She still
has one daughter to take care of. Thank you Diane

Hi, I hope you can help, as we have exhausted all our options. We are a
normal, low income, God loving family of 5. There are 3 teens, and ma and pa.
We live in the country,17 miles from town. In the past 2 years, our income
dropped from $20,000 a year, to $15,000,due to my husband getting 2 wage cuts
(the company had money troubles). We have struggled for 17 years, never had a
honeymoon, never a vacation, nor a night alone, without the kids,17 long, hard
years. Then my husband hurt his back at work. He tried to go on workers comp,
and his doctor supported him, as well as recommending surgery. But his boss
threatened to fire him, so my husband slaves as a hard laborer, with severe
pain daily. Two years ago, we had a flood. It was declared a disaster by Pres
Bush. The Red Cross helped us with $4000,but since we could not afford house
insurance, we lost EVERYTHING, so $4000 didn't do much. We tried to start
over, but then, another flood. This time, our family stood in THREE feet of
water in the basement, trying in vain to get the water out, to save what we
had just replaced, only to watch the well cave in from water. It took a month
to get the water out. Again we started over. Last year, we had a chimney fire,
and, you guessed it,i t took alot to try to buy the things over for the 3rd
time. We got depressed, we were overwhelmed, we had nowhere to turn to. It was
a lost cause. As it was, we were robbing Peter to pay Paul, but to start over
3 times, to have 3 major catastrophes in one year, was stress like we never
had before.
We had hoped to take our first family vacation, before our kids were on their
own (they are now 17,15,13),but the little money we saved in 3
years($600),went for a new furnace, because of the flood. Welfare refused to
help, all 3 times, because we were NOT on welfare (AFDC). It was funny, here
we were, hardworking, we do not drink, go out, we were great parents, and we
made LESS than welfare recipients do,but could not get help, because my
husband worked. I thought it ironic.
In the meantime, we went through 3 cars (all 20 years old or more), and my
husband had no way to get 34 miles to his job. We had to try to get clothing,
beds, dressers, and bare necessities, along with trying to pay bills, and
replace everything, PLUS fix the cars.
Well, here we sit, back to square one. We have done the best we can, but the
truck my husband has for work, has a blown head on it, which we cannot fix. He
has to flush the entire motor, every 2 days( which takes 3 hours), and replace
oil every 2 days, just to get to work (oil is ALL over his cooling system,
motor).
I would like to know if you ,or anyone you know, can help with a used car or
truck. Also, if anyone can help us recover some furniture and clothing, just
to get back SOME items. There is no way I can repay it, but I could try
paying a little a month,$20 maybe. PLEASE consider my request, I promise you
will be helping a nice little family, we just need a little help to get by.
Thank you for your time, Julie Lohman, Minnesota
