The Best Way To Donate Cars For Vets Is Through Vets Vehicles

The first time I heard about donating cars for vets was from someone at work.  I work in a medical clinic where a lot of our patients are vets.  Most of them love to talk about their life in the military and I love listening to them, even if they kept on repeating the same story every time.

I could not help but sympathize with them.  I came to realize how much the war has changed their life.  Being away from their loved ones was already a torture for them. No doubt, the whole experience greatly affected their life beyond the war and perhaps for the rest of their life.

The vets have sacrificed their lives for us but when they came back after the war, we do not give them enough assistance to help them get back to their life. Most have been traumatized which prevents them to live a normal life.  Most could not easily find a job. Some are even homeless or hardly afford to pay their rents.  Most of them need medical assistance.

One of our doctors mentioned about donating cars for vets because she heard from one of her colleagues about it.  It was perfect timing as she just bought a new car and wanted to get rid of her old car.  She thought donating her car for vets was the best way to show support to our vets.

She said she was happy for doing it and it was all worth it.  In fact, she was so thankful and said that she could not think of any other way.  Had she decide to sell her car, it would have been almost impossible considering her very busy schedule at work.

I always give donations to charity but I feel guilty that none of those charities was supporting projects and programs for the vets.  Honestly, it had never crossed my mind as I was so focused about helping the kids in Africa in their education; the world vision and other charities around the world.

I did not see that right here in my own country, there are vets that need my help.  Now, whenever someone asks me about my opinion on giving help to any group, I would gladly remind them to remember the vets and one of the best ways is through vehicle donation.

This is a sponsored post however; all the points and views are my own.
