Krystal’s 2017 Chevrolet Sonic Donated to Special Olympics
Special Olympics Car Donation Review
“I chose the Special Olympics because it’s so important to me that able bodied people SEE people with disabilities–not just seeing them as the capable and worthy people who they are, but seeing them at all.”
When I learned that I could donate my car to a worthy cause, it was clear to me that this was what I needed to do. Not only would it rid me of the headache I’ve dealt with with my car, but it would also turn all of the money “wasted” on new parts for a car that just won’t work, into a benefit for someone else.
I chose the Special Olympics because it’s so important to me that able bodied people SEE people with disabilities–not just seeing them as the capable and worthy people who they are, but seeing them at all. It seems to me that most able-bodied people fail to really consider people with disabilities, and don’t recognize the ways in which our world and the lack of accessibility in it limit people with disabilities. The Special Olympics not only opens their eyes to the disability community, but also to the amazing things that people–disabled or not–are capable of, when they are allowed to be themselves.
Thank You, Krystal!

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.
