We tried to sell our family minivan to a national car-buying company. But when they sent someone to pick it up, they said they were only going to pay us half of what they had originally agreed to.

I felt like I was being swindled, so I canceled the deal. Then I remembered NPR and CPR! I’ve always wanted to donate to public radio, especially in these times of federal cuts to journalism.

Now, instead of feeling yucky about saying goodbye to our long-time van, I feel great.

Along with the countless roadtrips, it’s giving one last gift to our family and community!

It’s as if the Giving Tree were a car.
