Feeling a little overwhelmed by it all? Noticing that you are actively looking for ways to live the simple life because everything everywhere just feels nutso? In some ways, that’s harder than we imagine. On the other hand, it can be much easier than we think!
Streamlining the simple life one donor at a time
A 2006 Ford Escape donor recently reminded us of the value of seeking out the simple life:
“I had this car for 6 years, difficult for me to part with it now, just
difficult to continue paying insurance and find a place to park. This car
has taken me to many places without breaking down, truly appreciated the
service I received.”
Letting go of a beloved vehicle is not easy. It can be emotional. Some donors say that it’s like losing a member of the family.
And, sometimes letting go of a complicating factor in full and overwhelming lives brings a sigh of relief. This is made so much easier when you know that the letting go will aid a good cause.
Our Ford Escape donor added a layer of goodness to his gift by naming a charity that was new to us! He chose Life Water as his charity of choice. In no time, we had the charity set up and ready to receive donations from future vehicle donors!
ps: We help charities live the simple life, too! There are no costs or tasks for the charity in this process. From donation to tax receipt, the charity is looked after.
Why donate instead of selling privately?
Another comment we have been hearing from donors for our twenty years in vehicle donation support? “I was going to sell it privately, but…”:
But I just don’t have time to spend on this right now. Life is so busy!
But it is such a hassle to deal with tire-kickers! There are so few interested buyers and so many wasted hours spent on cranks.
But I’m settling out the rest of the estate. I just needed one thing to be easy, painless.
But I really just want to do something good for the charity I love!
Like our Ford Escape donor, they know something about balancing the stresses of life and the wish to live a simple, generous life.
The simple life made a little simpler – one free tow at a time
Every donated vehicle is assessed for either re-sale or recycle. The effort is to re-sell whenever possible; we endeavor to raise the highest donation possible for the donor’s charity of choice. This ensures the strongest tax receipt for the donor, too! While we do not typically see Blue/Black Book values on our re-sales, we do see strong monetary returns that reflect the spread in the used vehicle market at the time of donation.
One of ways we ensure simplicity, speed, and no-cost support is fabulous agent care. Donors receive a call to arrange tow support within 48 hours of the time of donation. Then, having set up a time convenient to the donor, they provide free tow support.
If you take a peep at our socials and Google Reviews you’ll see the relief and gratitude this inspires!
If you’re looking for one thing to be quick, easy, and free in your life, we’re here to make it happen. We can’t wait to see your vehicle submission!
