So you think you are donating your old car to charity, yeah, right!!!!
Many years ago when my life was not so pleasant I lived in an apartment with 2 children and 3 other adults. My car was the only running car but one day I lost my vehicle. Getting to and from anywhere was a pain and we lived in East Jahblip nowhere Pennsylvania. It was hard to get to and from work when there was work. Things were bad. So, one day I get on the phone and start calling all these places that help, these charitable organizations and such. I called Untied Way and they told me to call the Catholic Social Services and they told me to call St. Vincents De Paul and then they told me to call Salvation Army and then they told me to call American Red Cross and on and on and on. So, after about 6 hours on the phone going from one recommended charity to another I ended up back on the phone with the first person I called that morning. The lady at United Way. She just couldn't believe that I had been on the phone all day and returned full circle back to her still in need with no assistance from all these charities. No body could help! She couldn't believe it! So I asked her about these automobile donations that they have advertisement for in the newspapers. I told her that maybe if they have a vehicle there i could use , even if it was only temporary that it would really help us out. She told me that the vehicles go to auction to pay the salaries of the people that run the charity. You know, the same charity that couldn't help 4 adults and 2 kids. So, what i am proposing is that if you really want to help someone donate your used vehicle to someone that actually needs a vehicle. That would help the needy far more than you donating it to the salaries of charities that cannot help people. Donate your old vehicle to me! I know at least 10 people right now that could use a working vehicle to get to and from work and medical appointments. It doesn't have to be a pretty and new, just working. Call me up! I'll even come get the car and give it directly to those who need one. You don't have to pay me a dime. I do this shit for free. My payment comes in good karma.
Money for Mr. Brooks
I have a friend that is in great need. His name is Marshall Brooks. He lives in a prison in Huntingdon Pennsylvania. He lost his father at an early age and ended up raising himself and fell into the hands of a biker gang member that taught him how to rob banks. Brooks is a very nice person contrary to how this story may sound. He has robbed many banks and in the end, coming from an impoverished area he turned around and gave all that money he stole from those banks to poor people. I'm not saying you should rob banks ( then again, they rob us everyday). But this particular type of crime has beauty to it. He steals from the rich and gives to the poor and needy, every last dime minus the occasional new pair of pants and some smokes. Brooks is a great man. He has been serving time for quite a while now. I usually try and hook him up with some financial assistance for clothing, food, toiletries and such. I am extremely low on cash and any donations would be welcomed. My current goal for him is $300. That should by him some underwear, thermals, shoes, toiletries, phone time and cold medicine for the year. Thank you for your donations. God Bless!
