Want to feel well? Donate car for helping the poor. some interesting initiatives for helping other people.

We can surely say that today nothing is motive of surprise, for anyone. We’ve been through several changes, techonological developments, new and strange businesses that ran well and are making money, new jobs that arouse with the upcoming of the Internet and its influence in every sphere of life. In other articles we talked about some new ways of making money, like 2nd mortgages and debt helplines. Well, as a new way of developing new businesses, donate car enterprises have appeared on the public space. In Donate Car For charity, they explain the advantages of donating your car: “People opt to donate a car for a variety of reasons. Whether you want to donate your automobile as a way to reach out and improve the lives of those less fortunate, or because of the personal convenience and tax savings to yourself, your car donation is a smart move” (www.donate-car-for-charity). So either by guilt or convenience you are asked to donate your car, taking advantage of the tax reduction you may be get when doing this. What is eligible to be donated? Just everything: cars, boats, trucks, no matter if they are working or not. And more: some enterprises offer free tow for the vehicle you are donating. Every car donate, in the case of Donate for Charity, goes to a non-profit organization, Family Care Foundation. As a sign of humanitarian help, this one claims to be an actual charity organization, and not “middle-man”, like other car donation centers.

In other cases, the car you donate goes to make homes for the people who have not one. This is called “Habitat for Humanity”. In this type of organization, everything is set and made easy for you to donate your car. In some cases, you may do it online! Why donate car? why go and give your car away? We might point out that some people may prefer, if their car is old, to donate it so they can get tax reductions; in other cases, the sensation of feeling well because they are helping others to have the resources donators already have, might be another reason. A cinic may ask: do these people actually founded an organization to make charity? Even though they sell products online, everything goes to charity? Well, in some vacuums the capitalism have left, some people decided to go on and help the more needful inhabitants of the world. Of course, an organization receiving car donations and making them available to buy homes for the poor, won’t change the world, where thousands of millions of people die from hunger or sexual transmitted diseases. But still, the project of the whole of these enterprises is very respectful, and can count with the approval of everyone who thinks social justice is to be expected nowadays. Donations are of course 100 per cent free of charge, so what you only need to do, in some cases, is pick up the phone, call to a free number and make it clear that you want to donate your car or other vehicle.We would like, as a good closure for the article, to refer to an organization that has been sort of a pioneer and has raised 650,000 trucks from donations, since 1983, which have reported 150 billion dollars. We are talking about Kidney Cars (National Kidney foundation, www.kidney.org), an organization dedicated to raising funds by donate car, to provide everyone with the possibility of having “kidney research, public and professional education programs, camps for children on dialysis and so much more”. This initiative, that started more than twenty years ago, has always promoted the need of donating, for several causes, as they refer in their website: People interested in supporting the National Kidney Foundation are, according to them, the ones who don’t want to sell their vehicle by themselves, those unhappy with the value they received for their car; also people who don’t want to pay taxes or insurance for cars they rarely use; people who spend lots of money repairing their car; people that, for environmental causes, want the vehicle to be recycled, and also citizens that want tax deductions (see www.kidney.org for further details). Although there are rumors going around that donate car sometimes can be a scam, you shouldn’t be worried about this, if you have the proper assessment with specialists, moreover when it comes to mileage and having the proper value for your car, so you can deduct the most from your taxes.

Who is benefiting from this movement? Well, a lot of people. Not only the more needed, that are actually happy for this interesting initiative that by now exists in the US and Canada, but it’s spreading all over the globe, but also the ones who intend to help, to do something to change the world and to provide help for those who suffer from famine, i.e in Africa, or who are homeless and don’t have resources to outlive their situations. There are several organizations thought as donate car foundations and that are oriented to different types of help: medical treatments, proper education, home construction, etc. for the ones being cinical and thinking this has no results, they only need to surf the Internet al little while, go deeply into each company information, and remember that although what is imposed is that money is the most important thing in your life, there are also other aspects in which you can help the world: one of them is giving the chance to others to have a better life, to live their days in better conditions, with hope, and not with resignation. Fighting for others is rewarding, as you see with donate car schemes: you are not only being charitable, you are receiving benefits. So, yes, money makes the world go round, but feeling well because the other is feeling well, is an undepictable sensation, difficult to put in words. So go, find out, and donate your car, It may be used, broken or brand new. But I will surely make you feel glad, and it will surely help others.
