Rhonda’s 2009 Ford Escape Donated to American Cancer Society
American Cancer Society Car Donation Review
“I have cancer…Because of research and good doctors, I am not dying of cancer.”
This was my Dad’s car. He gave it to me when he could no longer drive. I always felt like I was holding his hand when I drove his car. He was a very good driver with a bit of wanderlust. When he was 89, he drove from Wisconsin to Maryland by himself to take care of my dogs while I went on vacation. When he was 91, he drove from Wisconsin to South Dakota because he hadn’t yet seen the Badlands and Mt. Rushmore. I am donating his car to the American Cancer Society because my mom died of cancer, my dad died of cancer, his identical twin brother died of cancer, and I have cancer. Because of research and good doctors, I am not dying of cancer.
Thank You, Rhonda!

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.
