Car Talk Vehicle Donation Program Car Donation Review
“Lawrence and Katie spent hours together driving to school, rowing practice and the barn, vacationing in the Keweenaw peninsula…”
We inherited the 96 Ranger from my husband’s cousin’s estate when he died unexpectedly. Our daughter, Katie, had finished drivers ed and took her drivers test in the well worn manual transmission Ranger whom she affectionately named Lawrence, after a Civil War military figure. Needless to say, the drivers test guy was less than thrilled see us coming! Lawrence and Katie spent hours together driving to school, rowing practice and the barn, vacationing in the Keweenaw peninsula, and many other excursions parents are better off not knowing. Lawrence is the last big physical reminder of Katie, who was stolen from us by leukemia four years ago at the great age of 24. It’s time for us to let Lawrence go, as well.
Thank You, Jenny!

Oli’s 2010 Honda Insight Donated to March of Dimes
This was my first ever car that I got while in college. I planned to buy a cheap, used car with my savings but my mom surprised me by chipping in a bunch to help me get a new car. I named her Eustace and she carried me the 6+ hours to and from college for every vacation. She witnessed first love, graduation, and moved to the big city with me. She was tough, facing blazing summers, snow plows burying her for days, and alternate side parking. She drove my fiancee and I to our first house and then our wedding. She came and went to the NICU dozens of times until our beautiful baby was ready to come home months later. I was so nervous driving with our baby in the back seat for the first time, but Eustace was as steady and reliable as ever. She’s retired from our family now, but can hopefully still do some good for others.
