Joanne’s 1999 Honda CR-V Donated to Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity Car Donation Review

“…I decided to buy a newer car, and I wanted my CRV to go towards a good cause. I chose to make a donation to Habitat for Humanity in honor of President Jimmy Carter, who passed away last month.”

I wanted to share my car story and why I chose to donate my vehicle to Habitat for Humanity:

My 1999 Honda CRV was my first car, and I bought it from a friend after I graduated from college. Thirteen years later, I decided to buy a newer car, and I wanted my CRV to go towards a good cause. I chose to make a donation to Habitat for Humanity in honor of President Jimmy Carter, who passed away last month. I learned about Carter’s commitment to activism when I wrote a book report on his memoir during middle school, and I hope that more leaders will inspire us to affirm one another’s dignity and humanity. I want to start by making a contribution in support of affordable housing.

Thank You, Graham!

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.
