Cars 4 Causes® Give-Away Program

Some families can’t afford even the most affordable transportation, and for them, Cars 4 Causes® created the Give-Away Program. Over the last 5 years, we’ve given almost $1 million worth of cars to people in need.
This may be one of the most rewarding things we do at Cars 4 Causes®. We’ve seen the simple gift of a car take the desperation out of the eyes of working mothers, struggling fathers, and individuals down on their luck.
But we’ll let the recipients tell their own stories.

Donated Vehicles Transport Precious Cargo
CALIFORNIA, June 2007. Anyone who has ever faced the challenge of getting kids out of bed in the morning, getting them dressed, fed, out the door and into the car in time for the drive to school or a daycare center knows it takes the patience of a saint, the precision timing of a drill sergeant ... and above all a reliable vehicle to transport your sometimes frustrating but
always very precious cargo to their destinations.
Unfortunately, not everyone who has been entrusted with this rewarding but weighty responsibility has a reliable vehicle. That’s where Cars 4 Causes® came in this past month when we had the privilege to donate two vehicles to two extremely courageous and determined families.
Elizabeth Laughlin (pictured with her family), is a single mother of four, three of whom have cystic fibrosis.

Because Elizabeth did not have a car, she walked her children to school every day, a three-mile round trip, in every kind of weather. On top of that her three school-age children each have different schedules which meant she made the round trip three times a day.

Cassandra Webster (pictured), whose son Joshua was diagnosed with cerebral palsy earlier this year and must receive his therapy miles from where he lives, relied upon an aging car to make the long trips … that is, until the car gave out and Cassandra had no reserve funds for another vehicle.

Elizabeth Laughlin and Cassandra Webster had the courage, determination and need: Cars 4 Causes® had the vehicles. It was a no brainer.
