One of the toughest parts about being a single mom is surviving financially. This is especially true for new single moms.
I remember laying on the air mattress shared by me and my two daughters in my Dad’s spare bedroom just wondering what I was going to do. I had a car at the time but I didn’t have a home and the uncertainty was emotionally draining.
Part of getting back on your feet as a single mom is having the resources you need to get your life going again. And for many of us that means having a good car.
Here are resources for car donations for single moms.
FreeCharityCars.Org
Free Charity Cars is a nonprofit that gives away donated cars all through the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii.
Some of the eligibility requirements include:
- Victims of domestic violence
- The medically needy
- Victims of natural disasters
- Families transitioning from public assistance to work
- Families living in transitional living shelters
- The working poor
- Non-profit organizations
- Military Families
To receive a car from Free Charity Cars you need to visit their website and fill out an application. They will review your application and then your story will be made to the public. From there viewers of the website (including your friends and family) can vote for you.
When a car becomes available in your area the staff will look at the applicants in the area and choose based on votes and individual stories and circumstances.
Cars are obtained through donations. Whether or not you qualify to get a car will highly depend upon the public’s car donations in your area.
Government Assistance Programs (Grants for Cars)
If you’re on any type of government assistance (food stamps, section 8 housing, TANF, etc.) then talk to your case worker about needing a car.
Caseworkers realize that not having transportation is one of the biggest reasons the unemployed can’t find work. There are many public and private grants that help low income families to purchase cars.
In fact, one of my old friends was able to get a grant for a car when she went back to college. (The grant was around $2,000 but she found a good deal on a good running car.) Don’t be afraid to ask. There’s no shame in taking help when you truly need it. That’s what it’s there for!
Search for Donations through This Database
Because you can qualify for a significant tax write off by donating a used car it’s an option that many people are turning to.
You can search this database, from working cars for working families, to find a non-profit organization in your area that accepts and then distributes donated vehicles.
Once again many factors will weigh into your chances of actually receiving the car since every organization has its own set of guidelines.
Get the Car You Need
If having a vehicle is on your make or break list and is the key to providing for your family, then first talk to your caseworker and look at your options. If there’s nothing that you’re currently eligible for then search the car donations database and fill out as many applications as you can.
Do what you need to do for your family. There’s no shame in getting help and once you’re up and on your feet you can pay it forward.
Please contact the companies listed in this post to find out more about getting a free car. (Links have been provided where applicable.)
If you’re at a place where you’re comfortable taking out a loan for a car I recommend checking out SuperMoney. They will compare loan options for you so you can compare different banks and find the best option for you. Plus, unlike other online loan comparison companies they DO NOT give out any of your information so you won’t receive annoying phone calls from people trying to sell you stuff.

Oh Lord I can’t stop laughing. I’m assuming that was your purpose for this post. Hahaha
I had to continue reading it because it gave me a good laugh.
You must be a huge fan of espionage movies.
You would probably be great at writing spy novels.
Just keep in mind when translating your language into English that the words you find via Google aren’t always correct and thus don’t actually ” fit ” into the sentence correctly.

Martti says
I am a 64 yr. old disabled woman. My husband died of a heart attack 6 yrs ago & my older son was murdered a yr ago. I have my 7 yr old granddaughter at home with me now & need a car to get to work, as I’m walking the 3 miles now. My disability check covers rent, leaving me with $25 for utilities, basic household needs & food for the month. Earlier this year, we lost 10 family members within 6 months….leaving my resources for help depleted.
I’m not asking for a new or fancy car….just something to get me to work, doctor’s appointments, & to my granddaughter’s school……. I’ve lost 175 lbs in the last year…. I leave the food for her…… I get food from local food banks each week. My part time job does not make ends meet. PLEASE HELP ME…… I don’t know where to turn to anymore & I am greatly humbled to ask for this assistance….

Betina says
Hi I stumbled on your post & just wanted to reach out. I wanted to tell you that things WILL get better. I can promise you that, so just don’t give up! You just HAVE to keep your goals of making more money, finding the right support, & being there for your child. (So continue your searches & networking with other single mothers) However if you decide to quit or give up, I can promise nothing good will happen. I was told this: once you stop fighting for what you want, what you don’t want will automatically take over in your life. Please stay strong! 🙂

lyn spano says
I’m a divorced single mom of 3 and when I got divorced I lost everything I was a cna going to school for my RN . When I got divorced I didn’t fight the fight and I was left with all the bills and that completely ruined my credit. So I’m stuck without a vehicle I don’t live on a bus route I need to get back on my feet so I can become successful. My children want to play sports so bad like they always have. I’m not sure how to ask but I am in a really bad need of help getting on my feet and once in back on track I will give back. Please consider helping me because everything is at stake right now including my house….. I would be so grateful and honored if I was chosen. I’m usually never a taker I’ve always been the caregiver without any help and I would be so grateful for someone to help me out and once I do get back on my feet I will donate and help out in return….. I hope someone will consider helping me im praying every moment and I wanna say thank you for just listening to my story…
vickie says
Awe i really hope sumone reading your store can help you out… Im also in need of a car badly. But if there was a car to be given between you or i, after hearing your story i truly want u to have it. I really wish u the beat in recieving a free car.. My time will come wen it my turn just keep ur head held high ur boys see what a strong mommy they have ..good luck.
colleen says
After reading the comments, it would be hard for someone to chose who would get a vehicle. Everyone is deserving, situations are different. But I am very moved by what Vicki posted. She herself is in need and after reading the stories of the other mothers, she said if it came down to the person she read about or herself she would suggest that other person, That is very selfless and generous. And I hope She get one just for that…. People like Vicki are to few and far which is very sad….

Natasha says
Call 211 and ask for help for abuse there are tons of shelters you can leave to. Just for a couple days. apply for housing in secret and list you are being abused. You will get a place sooner. If you can, report the abuse to local police just before you leave for protection down the road. Secretly get things ready. One item at a time. Call the abuse hotline, they are all over the web. Get out now. Asap. If you stay too long and something bad happens to you like another hospital visit or neighbors seeing something. The child services WILL take your children away. Be strong, you have got this! Email me if you need to talk we are hear for you!!!! [email protected]. also check out co abode, its a way for you to find a place to live by sharring a house , a actual home with another single mom who has same values. Beliefs as you. Its great if you have no other option. God bless you and protect you!

Hi, I’m 30 years old with a 3 year old daughter. I’m a recovering addict and have 5 years clean. I am in school finishing my associates degree in social work and lost access to the car that I was using for the past 2-3 years. I take my daughter to the recovery program, that I am still attending, for daycare while I go to school. I have no car to get her there and to school. I am unable to work at the time and have no income other than the little bit of child support I get and benefits from the state. It is not much but enough to get us by. I’m asking for your help if anyone can help us by donating a good working car, so that we can continue to grow towards the future. Thank you so much for your help.

Hello. I’m single mom of three boys. It has been really tough for my boys and i. We been jumping from place to place leaving with friends. I don’t own anything. My sons and sleep in the floor. Wish im thankful for having to leave in a home other then outside somewhere. Been going thru a divorce that has been tough for all of us. For many years I had been a house wife. And the ride has been really hard for my sons and I. Having a car i can rely on with no worries of it braking down over and over well take my worries of my sons face and mind. Been on welfare and wish i wasn’t. But i am thankful for there help. Looking for a job were it can help us move forward. To be able to have a place of are own. Where my son’s and i can call home. Would be a Blessing. And to be able to help someone in need like me. To be able to give a hand in need if it where to come to that. A place to stay. That’s why Having that car to relay on. Make’s a big difference. Dropping of my boys on time and pick them up with no worries. Well give ALL of us have a peace of mind. Getting myself on me feet with having something to relay on for work. Is a big deal. It’s like a circle it connects at every end. Because of one thing. It makes a difference. I don’t care what the car looks like just as long it runs. I’ll be GRATEFUL! Thank you for Having the time to read this.
Sincerely
Single mom

Angela says
Hi..
My name is Angela and I am a single mother of a 7 month old baby. I just got through a divorce, and now going through a child custody battle… The money I was going to use to try and purchase a car (my tax return) I had to use for my attorney. I’m lost, and scared. A vehicle would bless my family with abundance if I could just get to interviews. I know I have potential, and being 23 years old… I have to start getting on my own two feet.. My mother drives me around and everywhere I go, I’m late… Which won’t be professional when trying to get a job for supporting my daughter. I really pray someone may be able to help me. I’m begging, praying and hoping…. God bless.. Thank you..

D.Gonzales says
My name is Demetria I am a mother of 3 of the most grateful loving and deserving little ones i feel on this planet as well as other mothers feel about their own little ones which is true for us all. My children and I fell on hard times after the split of their father and I while 2 months pregnant and not alot of job experience. The past few years have been difficult but somehow I have managed to get experience in being a caregiver to the elderly who have Alzheimer and Dementia disease. I Had a vehicle that i was making payments on that ended up dying and forcing me out of the workforce. Although I apply everyday online and when I can get out just to grocery shop, I do receive call backs from the jobs I apply to it is now that since I have not worked in so long I do not have money for a car to get to these jobs to ensure a prosperous future for my kids and myself I want to succeed in my life, and now I am asking for help that I may not deserve to ask for but I have run out of ways in not asking for anything so I am giving it a shot and praying that someone will bless my family with the opportunity to have a vehicle in order to make a change for the better in our lives. I pray that god blesses and touches your hearts in this matter. Thank you

Dawna says
I am a single mother of two small girls. I am recently back in school full time and working full time to support my kids. I am fighting their father for custody. He was abusive to me and to our oldest daughter. I want nothing to do with him. He is not paying child support or trying to make the girls lives better in any means. I cant afford to fix the car I currently have. I am not seeking a new car just some help to fix the car I own. I am trying to teach my girls to be strong and not depend on a man to support them. I realize asking for help on this website is not standing alone on my own two feet. Everyone does require help at some point in their life. This is me asking for some help so I can continue in the right direction and be the a good role model for my girls. PLEASE help.
Leticia says
My 4yr old son, 3yr old daughter, and myself have been renting a room in a house that has given us 30 days to move out because it has been foreclosed. I have been working 2 jobs just to get food in their bellies, and the rest so that we can sleep under a roof. We had a car that got me to work, but it overheated a few days ago and now needs work replacing new head gaskets! Both jobs i work for require a car for transportation and has been running low on patience for me to return to work. My kids and I walk to the 99 cents store a few miles away from our home in this high heat each day so we can purchase food and necessities. The cost of fixing our car, coming up with a deposit to have a new home, and money to buy food is impossible for just me to do! I try to take 3 steps forward but get knocked 10 steps back. My kids don’t know why mommy cries at random times, and they will never know. My kids are so deserving of what I only dream of us having. We are in seek of immediate help and pray our brief story touches someone’s heart

It’s hard to find a ride went person need they car to go to work that I stay with at times. There hours are the same as my doctors appointments so they need they car. There are times went doctor call me to go ran some test at the last minute at main hospital on the other side of town. No source of income at all I’m waiting for my hearing from the judging for SSI disability it been 3 years. So I have so many medical problems in getting around to where need to go at times. So if someone can really help me in getting a car I really appreciate very much in helping me. And there are time need to go pick up my prescriptions and grocery shopping because I’m on special diet from my doctor. The only help I get from government is snap to get my food.

Christine Sero says
Hi, I’m a single 21 year old mom with a 8 month old and I’m 6 months pregnant, I’m curently fighting cervical cancer. I work for $6.00 an hour and that’s not enough for me to pay all the bills, buy food, ect and since my parents don’t work and I don’t want them to be homeless as well I try to find a way. I have to stay at my parents place and use my moms car until I can find a cheap one, and its hard to use it between me needing it for work, and when my mom needs it for an appointment, ect. If some one can help point me in the right direction to get a extremely cheap or free car that would be great thank you in advance.

dICEE says
I’m writting this not for myself but for my daughter April , she is a single mom, and is having difficulties with transportation, the car she had is now completely broke-engine is broke, I did get her the car 4 yrs ago, it was a used car, but it was all i could afford at the time, I only have one job, and I help her as much as I can, but it is very very hard on me also, she has been going on job interviews and have been offered a job, but the hours are at night, so having to walk to the bus stop at night is really scary for her since she does not live in the best part of town, we just do not know what to do at this point, she is the most kindest person I know, and deserves a break, I have been there as much as i can financially, i just cant help her anymore and i’m at my wits end, on where to turn to, please if there is a agency somewhere that could donate her a dependable vehicle, please give her a call at 402-905-8418–she does not know that i have recached out in this way, Thank you and God Bless
Lindsey buckley says
I am a 36 yr old single mom of a 12 yr old daughter who is just starting junior high this year. I live off of the state (food stamps and insurance) but would really like not to. I will be starting college this fall and 2 jobs to help the financial burden, however, the burden that I carry now is not having a car. I use to have one a few months ago but fell for an overseas scam from someone that was promising the world, which I bought into and ended up costing me my vehicle. We live 2 miles outside of town so finding a ride and walking has been our only means of transportation which I know can’t last through winter. I have no one to ask for help especially my family and the only income that I have is from babysitting which hasn’t been enough to pay the bills. I really need some help or advise on where to look cause I desperately need to get out of this situation but living in a small town doesn’t really work (Laramie, WY). Thank you for any insight anyone can give.

Please if you can help at all I would really appreciate it. Thank you for your time.

Maryah CrUz says
Hi, I’m 17 about to 18 with a 1 1/2 year old son, things are honestly really hard, transportation is impossible for me, and it’s hard to get a job when I have no way of being able to get to it, I live in a small town and the people here are ridiculous, I’m a junior in high school as I missed a whole year of school while pregnant, and I have missed already the first two days because finding a babysitter is impossible and day care is to pricey for me/: my mom thinks It would be best for me to drop out and just find a place to work but I do not want to become another statistic on the United States about teen moms. I want to finish myschooling and go to college an become a nurse like I’ve always wanted to and show my son it’s easy to give up but if you keep trying an keep your head up the outcome is far more rewarding. I’m not sure what kind of help there is but is really appreciate anything I can get at this point because its becoming nearly impossible for me/: email me any information? [email protected]
Shanta says
To Whom it may concern,
I am too a single mother, as all of us are. I am not sure if this stuff really works, but it will not hurt to try! I have 2 young children, 3 yr old son and a 1 yr old daughter. My children’s father and ex husband basically took everything from us. What I mean by that is, he started using drugs, stole and sold everything valuable we had. He wrecked my car one day driving under the influence. I was able to get myself and my children out of that situation and start over. I finally landed a GREAT full time job that I am very thankful for, but supporting 2 children, keeping my household together and trying to save money to get a vehicle is impossible. I am driving a family members car to work now and he asks me everyday when will I be able to get it back. I’m so thankful for him letting me use his car but I am in much need of my own. I really need help. I am a veteran but the VA mostly helps soldiers with disabilites and I do understand that. Everything is finally starting to fall into place for my children and I and this wil only get us a step closer to where we need to be.

KAITY says
Thankyou for this website!!!
I wish I saw this site a long time ago. I financed a car back in January, and with the car loan on top of student loans on top of childcare costs, I have NO money left to live on. I feel like I am constantly drowning, and it seems like single mother have been set up to fail. I am going to work to pay for all the means to keep me working. I really appreciate finding this site at least now.
Jaclyn says
Hi, my name is Jaclyn Smith. Im a 19 year old teen mother with two kids. Im in need of a vehicle to further my education. im a drop out. I realize how bad it sounds, but I had no way of daycare for my first. I even tried entering in a school for troubled teens. They did have a daycare but the only way I could get my child in was to have a perfect attendance.. which I could not give them. it was very impossible for me to get in to school. My mother would help when she could but she is/was struggling herself an could not afford to miss work. Im planning to get a G.E.D. and go to college to be a RN or a gynecologist. Only way to do so is to get a car to transport me back in forth. ive been supporting my children and me threw selling crocheting projects on etsy/ebay/amazon and a little help here an there from my family. its not easy being a single mom. Please Help me get a car.

I travel on public transportation so i have to leave at 6:30 am to get to my home arround 6:00pm. I have to take my daughter to day care to then go to my job. The father of my child is no longer in our lives for 8 months. I left him because he became an full time alcoholic and he started to hit me in front of my daughter. He doesnt help with anything and he is not even involved in my daughter life. I live by my self i pay rent, gas,light,cell phone,day care, all of my daughter needs and personal care. I have no type of help. With the minimum wage in illinois its really hard to survive. Now the winter is comming and i am going crazy just thinking about the below 0 weather. I need a helping hand, i know i am not the only one thats going thru hard times, but i know and i wish i could make everything better. I want to be able to take my daughter to day care and that she doesn’t have to freeze her cheeks off. She has asthma and ezcema. The very cold weather or the very hot weather is not good for her. I hope my dream comes true one day. I have faith that it will. God bless…

ima says
Hi. I’m a working mother of 3. I work on average 20-25 hrs a week at a dollar general store. I’m in very bad need of a good, decent running car or small SUV. I barely make enough money to pay my rent and cover bills.There is no way i can afford to get a vehicle at a dealership. I walk to and from work., but as for getting us to our appointments, there’s just no way. I have no body to help me. So if there is anyone out here that may have a second vehicle that you do not use or really need,i could so take it off your hands. My family sits and watches movies and cartoons on DVD as we can’t even afford to get satilite. Not trying to sound to needy that’s just the truth. You can’t get a head with little hours and pay. Thank you for anyone that can help in any way possible. My number is 870 308 5645. Please leave a message if no answer if you can help. Thanks
Tina says
Hello my name is Tina and I’m asking for help for my daughter. She a single mom of a almost 2 year old son. And his dad in prison and she gets no child support. And his daddy is a deadbeat dad.vShe just got a job making $8.00 a hr. But her boss is giving her a ride at this time till we can figure out how to get her a car. She lives in a trailer wirh me and my son that is on disability. that was abanded so we only pays the lot rent. But the trailer is falling apart. Its only running on one breaker so no electric but only half in kitchen and living room and thats all. There’s no hot water she has to warm water for her son to take a bath and she takes colds showers. We got counter burners which we cooks on cause no electric to stove and she has a toaster oven. We have to heat water to wash the dishes. So as you can see she needs a car to keep her job so we can move out of this traler. Its not safe at all. Management will not do any repairs cause they don’t own it. If the last breaker goes at anytime that’s it for us. Please if you can help with a car asap she managed to save $1200 to Go towards a car. Or maybe get one donated so we can use that money to move on. it would be a blessing. Thank you so much for listening And God Bless

Andrea McNeil says
I am a single mother of two wonderful daughters at the age of 34. When i was pregnant with my second child I had a place, car, and attending school and got my CNA and Medication Certificate. During this term I became ill due to the pregnancy I had no help from their fathers and we were abandon. I lose everything when i was admitted into the hospital on August 20,2013 and stayed there for thirty days. My blood family treated me as i was already dead . The Nurses at the hospital took me and my unborn child and treated us as if we were there family love is a powerful thing. I cried alot at that time knowing on the outside my life had crumbled and I had nothing to go home to. Then I realized I had my oldest daughter who had a wonderful grandmother who took her in and care for her to the utmost while in her care, she was someone that was out there i needed to come too along with her sister. When i was released so many people took so many important things from me far as my taxes I worked for . I couldn’t get out to file them due to just having my newborn that is still today a special needs child and it was extremely cold and my mother did not have internet service and I had one friend to count on in person besides God . I went to my mothers though there i was on my own even though people were in the house I felt like me and my children were ghosts. I started at the very bottom while other people shop in stores i found myself walking to the nearest yard sale to buy everything my kids need off the ground I always neglected myself for their needs. I eventually got a place that i walked in the very cold of January with my newborn crying because i had to be strong and do what is best for my children. I walk just about everywhere with my children and if i had bus fare helped to take my children to everything that was necessary for them doctors appointment’s,dentist ,schools and grocery shopping. All this within 2013-2015 I managed to study for my CDL permit with no child care which was not easy and had help from Jehovah witness to give me a ride to DMV and watch my baby while i took my test They even gave me rides to the grocery store and to wash clothes at the laundry mat from time to time. And I was very thankful because it is very hard being a single mother and know I have family though no one helped. Now that I have my permit I am trying to start my career life and currently looking for daycare services. I want to start by driving school buses and work my way up I am putting my faith in GOD since I only get child-support I can’t get much help from department of social services receiving TANF. I want to be able to drive my children to daycare and school and activities that are needing and helpful to them as well while I work. I have to walk to many places with my children and with walking it can be hard at times to make it to certain places in a timely manner. I need a start with a dependable vehicle coming from the bottom to make it to the top. And to use my story to help others see that they can make it no matter what is downtrodden them. Where there is a God there is a way thanks for reading this God Bless you!

Laura M says
Is it just me or is everyone on here asking for help finding a car or for a free car? If I’m not mistaken the writer of this blog already has provided the help by providing useful information and leads on where to look locally to find car donations and other similar assistance programs. My suggestion to a good majority of the authors of the above comments is to re-read the blog post and begin your own search. She gave you the tools now use them! We all have these stories, I get it. She tells you to start with your caseworker, yet no one mentions having tried even that. Disability.gov has a whole bunch of info about this very subject also by the way.
L says
wow it would be amazing if I could get some help getting back on my feet. I have 5 children ages 3-15. I recently had to put a restraining order on their father, because he is a drunk and is abusive last time he tried to hit our oldest daughter and that’s when I said enough is enough . But it is hard because I am not currently working . I almost have my associates degree finished. but its so hard to find a good paying job that will pay for a babysitter and enough left for food and bills. Right now my mother who is 73 is trying to help us buy food . It is almost Christmas and I can not get any help from the state I was told until probably the 1st of January so I do not know how I will have money for Christmas,food,bills my kids deserve so much more :'( . I have been trying for months to get a job. Used to run a business but he made me give that up by lying to me all the time. I can not get support until March and he knows we have no food but of course would not help us now. I really do not know what to do I just pray God steps in and fixes all of this.

I’m a single expecting mother of my first child I’m only 20 years old. I’m currently 7 months pregnant and on high risk pregnancy due to too much walking, lifting and bending. I don’t have transportation for work. I was recently let go from Walmart because I missed too much work due to no transportation. I’m struggling heavy with finance and practically homeless. I’m just trying to find ways to help support myself and child before she arrives in march of 2016. A friend told me of this website and I thought “All I can do is try”. This would mean the world to me.

Hello my name is Carolina, my son Samuel has Autism. I am a single mother who is my son Samuel’s proxy and connection to the world outside of the facility he lives in. Samuel’s facility is located in New Hampshire and I live in Springfield, Massachusetts which is approximately 3 hrs away. I visit the facility and the area frequently to assist Samuel with all medical affairs, social activities outside of the facility and all personal decisions such as clothes and food shopping. I am in need of and SUV for transportation for the following reasons; inclement weather (snow) makes it unsafe to drive a car without front wheel drive and a high wheel base, Samuel’s Autism makes him prone to violent episodes that make it dangerous for one person to drive him, we need one person to sit next to the driver and two people in the back because he is very strong. An SUV or Minivan would allow us to have a third row. This is the first time that I have used this site as you can see, lol. If this there is anyone reading this that can give me some assistance with my situation I would greatly appreciate it. I am praying for everyone.

Jan Turner says
Greetings! As a former Chaplain for the U.S. Air Force, I have seen the success Americans have had in helping the homeless overseas and would love to see the same happen in our country as well. My organization, Turner Ministries International, Inc., a 501 c(3) non-profit, is committed to showing God’s love to young adults headed for homelessness. As we give his love on the streets of our city, we witness these teenagers who’ve been “bumped” out of foster homes, group homes, and shelters and are suffering the trappings of the streets, because they have “aged out” of the foster care system.
In Oklahoma, there are over 10,000 children in the system, with more than 500 aging out (turning 18) every year. Compared to other youth in the U.S., those who age out of foster care are less likely to complete high school or receive a GED, more likely to be unemployed and live in poverty, and often have mental health issues. Statistics also show that nearly 40% become homeless and 25% will be sold into sex trafficking or will trade sex for survival. In the words of Frederick Douglas, “It’s easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” We believe we can help these young men and women before they set out to begin their adult lives and help them acquire skills they need to be self-sufficient and successful.
Our desire is to provide a home that doesn’t look like a shelter or institution on our 10 acres of land. We’ll serve 60 young adults with housing that includes 30 double-occupancy bedrooms, separate dormitory style bathrooms, kitchen with fellowship hall/dining room, and a living area. Recreation and other activities located within the property include basketball & volleyball, a walking/jogging trail, and organic gardening. Through partnerships in our community, these young adults will have access to employment opportunities and evaluation of career interest. Additional services my team is ready to provide are: assistance with daily living and money management skills; educational and community resource assistance; counseling; and Cross-Race mentoring. Just one dollar at a time, from people like you going out of your way to host a charity event will help make a remarkable difference in the lives of these youth people. TOGETHER-we can make this happen!
We are so grateful for the donations we have already received from local vendors in Oklahoma that include doors and windows, lighting fixtures, cabinets, tile/flooring, and paint! However, we’re still working to secure funds for the house itself. We made attempts to involve the universal church by contacting over 100 of the largest churches in America. Unfortunately, here are the two reasons we’ve run across; they only provide help to those who are affiliated with their denomination, and/or they feel like these kids are already “messed-up & unsavable”! This mindset is unacceptable when the bible says in Psalms 68:6; “God puts the lonely in families…” I believe it is only the caring people who have the hope for these children to experience a real family off the streets! I am appealing to you- would you please consider helping us? I’m praying that God would move upon your heart to consider my “mission proposal” to have you host a charity event to help us raise money to establish The Turner House for at-risk youth. Unlike most beautiful children, not all children can get to have a wonderful mother and father even through adoption-please help us be a family to the few we would like to rescue from the streets. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you so much for your time today and I thank you in advance for any help you can provide in making this dream come true to bless teens in getting off the streets and into their very own home!
Sincerely Yours,
Rev. Dr. Jan Turner

I am a single mother with 2 autistic children. My ex left us a few months ago and we have had to live in motels and struggle to have enough t o eat. My cars transmission went out and we have to walk every where we go. My children have a hard time getting to and from school and I am not able to obtain and keep a job without a car. I am begging someone to help us. Have no one here to help us. Can obtain a job for sure with a car. Just got over pneumonia and with the weather cold and damp worry about myself and my children. If you can find it in your heart to help me I know God will bless you and I would be so greatful.

Krystal says
I think that’s its awesome that there is a program like this available for single mothers. With that being said my name is Krystal and I am 24 years old with a one year old baby girl. As of right now we are in low income living off assistance. I have no family I can depend on because either they are out of town or dealing with their own situations and cannot afford to lend a helping hand (which is understandable). All I really want to do is provide a comfortable life for my daughter and myself and right now being in the situation I am in now its difficult. All I need is a little boost and I’d be on my way and I feel that this program could give me what I need to get on my feet. I appreciate all who takes their time out to read my post and appreciate all who vote. I am a woman of faith and will continue to keep my head up after all I have a little one looking up to me and I refuse to quit for the sake of a stable future. Thank you for your time and God bless.

Marlen Chapman says
Thank you for your giving heart. I believe this is the way I’m suppost to go in order to progress. It is today that I will have all that I need to leave an unhealthy relationship. I no longer wish to subject my daughter or myself to this unhealthy life style. I know there will be a time that I will get on this sight and reply and help another mother. Currently I am asking for the help I will provide in the future. Any reliable vehicle will do. Again Thank you for your giving heart.

Hi , having a car would mean I can transport my son to and from school. He has asperges(high functioning autism) I dont take him out much because the transport where i stay is very slack. we spend half our day walking to were we need to go, that becomes very tiring and fustrating having to brave all the elements. i have constant pain in my big toes because of the walking. i cannot afford finance because i have never had a permanent job until now, i have a half day job, but my salary is so low. please could you assist. I live in south africa, I dont know anywhere here who helps in that way, so im trying to reach out.

HIE GUYS
My name is Loveness and i am a mom to a 20 month old baby,Im currently living in South Africa originally from Zimbabwe.I asking for any car donation to transport my child from day care in time,i work far away from home and this is putting a strain on my relationship with my daughter.My husband recently left me for other women and i had been under physical,emotional and financial abuse for the two years that i lived with him.In that time i tried to involve my parents and the police but to no avail and i have so many scars to show for his abuse,my daughter was no exception,he would beat me up whilst i was holding the baby nit having any conscience that an innocent child was involved.Since i was pregnant he would beat me up and he would not provide anything for me and my daughter,I got a job two years later when i was fit to work,hoping he would change,but he got worse and started to complain about anything to do with our daughter,he stopped even buying groceries.I did everything,i would wake up in the morning,carry my baby on the back and take her to daycare in the cold everyday,from there,i would walk into town to catch a taxi to work,I would knock off late at work after 6pm,rush to the taxi and reach my daughter’s daycare after 7pm to collect the child and go home at night.He would not even lift a finger to pick or drop the child,I am still doing it now since he left.Everytime I look at my daughter,tears steam down my face and I wish my daughter would be able to experience a better life than this.So please if there is anyone out there,I plead with you,please donate any car that you have for the sake of my daughter,she is the only one Im living for right now.I am in South Africa
Thank you very much.

Gloria Banks says
I am in need of a vehicle. Having a car would change my situation & circumstances, as I would have transportation for a job I could return to, doctor appointments, be able to get to the pharmacy to get my maintenance medications, go grocery shopping, etc. as public transportation in this rural area is not a feasible option, especially so for job transportation, as I have inquired & been told that they can not accommodate me as it conflicts with their schedule.
I can drive a manual shift vehicle.
I am already on the freecharitycars.org website under Montana1

Michelle Lewis says
Hello my name is Michelle and I am in need of a vehicle in running condition. My story starts in 2005 I became ill and after a long exhausting 6 months I finally realize that I had late stage 3 Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma at the time of this I had two children I am a single mother and had to stop work go straight to chemotherapy and at the same time deal with the pregnancy which saved my life I was blessed with a guardian angel on December 15th 2005 and sadly passed away December 17th 2005. It took me a long time to recover from the loss of my daughter but I got on my two feet because I have two beautiful children that she watches over and so they needed their mama to be stronger Warrior that they’ve always known we have no family. I don’t know where you’re supposed to go or who is supposed to help when you have cancer and you are a single mother with no family when work is your only life that’s what you depend on and that’s what your kids depend on and so when that was taken away from me in 2007 because of the bone eating tumor in my femur. I’ve got not right off of that little Hill that I climbed after getting over the loss of my daughter I was in great pain and still am every day. I have no choice but to try to get back on my feet and work. I presently am living with a family member in California and I need to get back to Tennessee where my other kids reside one is still under the age of 18 and I have my youngest baby with me. But my son needs his mother back home and I have no way I have looked and looked and looked and I am praying that somebody somewhere I know God is with me I pray everyday I know he’s with me so I’m praying maybe one day soon will be like hello it’s your turn to have a chance it’s your turn to not cry no more because of the stress of Life are overwhelming. I pray that somebody gives me a chance please and thank you with my whole heart God bless
Kan Waugh says

Hello, I am a divorced mother of 2. I truely hope a wonderful Christmas Miracle happens for all of the families in all of the letter’s, I”ve just read. I understand and relate to a lot of them. I still believe in a time when people from all walks of life, helped the struggling and less fortunate get a leg up, so they too could in turn could help someone someday. Those people still exist! If everyone in the world would stop for just a minute and say Thank You for the air I breath, Thank You for the ground I stand on, Thank You for the roof over our heads, Thank You for the our children and families and the blessings no matter how small, then just looked around and see just one thing we could do to help someone. I”ve been one of those struggling people very proudful & stubborn thinking I could do everything myself. THE truth is everybody needs someone even if its just helping change a tire or giving a child something to wear. May God Bless Everyone Everywhere! This is just one person’s prayer to all !
Tawnya Bartlett says
I won’t give you a hard luck story of my life. My dad taught me to stand up and be accountable for my choices. I left my abuser. I took my 3 kids and went across states to my dads. I bought a trailer for a good price and made the payments working my ass off. I didn’t count on my car breaking down and leaving me without many choices for work. I would like to know about these grants you say exist. The unhelpful people at the government agencies here tell me they don’t have any help for a vehicle. My life has suffered huge set backs because of this. I am in Springfield Mo and glad my oldest has become old enough to work and pay bills. How ever a young adult shouldn’t have to pay for her mom and siblings. None of the so called helping hand groups have a car program …except one….who won’t return an email or answer the phone. If you know of government programs, grants, or loans please respond. I’d love to do the agencies here job for them and let them know so the money can go to the people its meant to go to. In the process maybe I can get a vehicle and actually surviving and trying to make a new life won’t be seen as so difficult.
