Free cars in Seattle and Washington State- Free Charity Car Applicant Run Promotional Campeign Proposal

Now, I'm a very new member of the Free Charity Cars network, but many things have become clear very quickly. It is very possible to get awarded a free car if you are in a situation of need; but getting chosen when one comes up is dependent on a variety of factors.

One obvious factor is how many cars in a given area become available vs how many applicants. When more cars are donated in a particular area, more may be available. Free Charity Cars encourages the applicants, and anyone else who sees the worthiness of the cause, to promote the charity. I know, in this part of the beginning of the internet age, we're all probably getting sick of anything that sounds like "promote my site" , " donate to this cause" , join this, click that, and have some spam for lunch. However- this one actually IS worth the time.

I'm sure I'm not the first member involved with FCC to think of this, but since I'm up in Seattle... if any of the other applicants in this geographical area are interested in working on a project together to promote FCC, I'd be very interested in trying to arrange some kind of get together to talk about it. Obviously, all of us have transportation issues... but some of the bus routes in this city run very well...and we could meet up at a place along one of the major lines.

If anyone is interested, please send me a message. And if you're one of the Seattle and Washington folks who are applying, feel free to leave your story in the comments on this post. If I come up with a flier about FCC I'll list this blog as well--- and potential donors may run across out collective set of pleas for assistance in this really screwed up economic climate. Realizing that it's their neighbors in a community they are donating their used vehicles, time or money to may help others see why it would be such an amazing help in someone's lives.

Users from other area's are also welcome to post their stories and user names in the comments on this post. For once, it makes total sense to pass the word on, it could benefit a lot of people in life altering ways.

  5. Hi I am a single mother of 5. We are homeless and live from family to friends houses on a month to month basis. We lost our car in January of this year 2013 and since then have been on busses. I'm about to start working again but its hard to get two babies to daycare early in the morning and late at night. My other 3 children are old enough that they can manage being out on busses but the babies have been sick everytime we are out for more then an hour. I also have cervical cancer and have had to miss many treatment appointments when I don't have any transportation because the Dr won't let me leave on the bus afterwards and I can't stay without anyone watching my kids. If anyone can help me with a car it will change our lives and we will be grateful. Please email me back at jambankois@yahoo.com
    God bless

  10. Greetings. My name is Whitney Hicks. I graduated from college earlier this year, obtaining my associates degree in psychology in Mississippi and packed up what little I had and took a leap of faith moving to Washington in late August to be with my now Amazing wife.I traveled on a bus for 4 long and at times hungry journey with the gracious help of my church. My wife drove 12 hours in her old car to meet me and she did but the car died after she got to the station. More grace thrown our way and a couple drove us all the way home but right now holidays are here and we need transportation. We have 4 young children (youngest 6yrs) suffors from a poor immune system and have several dr visits a month. This would help us get there safely and not wait for long cold bus rides. Pleasehelp our situation and praying that we get a car.

  11. Hello,we are family of 3 and livinget off one income with all 3 of us having medical needs for speech depression anxiety panic,ibs,therapy for son and mother.medical bills are sky high and cannot afford a vehicle to get my son and myself to doctors appointments. I suffer from panic due to child molestation. We have doctors appointments weekly and can't get there safely. I have not had a vehicle in 4 years Due to medical bills. A car would make my doctor visits for all of us so much easier. And my panic would be relieved a little bit.

  15. Hello,

    I would like to know how to apply for a free car. I had a car that had 261,000 miles on it and a good paying job.
    While my car was still running great, I went on vacation for 2 weeks to visit my parents in pahrump Nevada. While I was there, my car died permanently and I was stuck there for a month and a half. I thought I could go back to Seattle and rent a car weekly until I saved enough money to buy a car. I borrowed $300 from my ex-husband and came home. My Dad paid for the first week of the car rental and I worked 7 days that week. When I went to pay for another week for the rental car, I found out it's $240 per week! I cannot afford that, I wouldn't be able to save for a car and I would probably starve. Needless to say I had to quit my house cleaning business that I have been doing since 1999 because I don't have a car. I was making good money, but not enough to pay my bills, food and rent and save for a car, while renting a car for over $1000.00 a month. I really need a car so I can get back to work and start saving for a car. I would be willing to return the car as well, once I have saved roughly $3000, so that someone in a situation like myself could use it or have it as well. Please help me apply for a free car.

    Thank you for your time

  18. I was diagnosed with lupus over 17years ago and my ex fiance has been stealing my pain meds and framing my son. About 3 weeks ago I found out he had my whole prescription and tried to blame my son again,I told him I knew it wasn't him and he was going to shoot my son and me and then himself. His son got us out of the house and got the shotgun away from him. I was with this man for 6 years, he stole the motor out of my sons truck and put in a motor from a junkyard, I found out 2 days after all that happened when I was at my doctor and the motor blew up. My email address is lupylady007@yahoo.com

  20. Good Evening~ My Name is Nita . I’ve decided to ask for help on behalf of my DaughterS Gia Alexzandrea and LillYauna . Gia was born in 2015 with a very rare cancer called infantile fibro sarcoma. I planned everything perfect to a T ... or so I thought. The day after she was born she was rushed to UC Davis hospital and even though they said I couldn’t drive I got up from mi c section recovery bed and drove my new 2003 Chevy trailblazer that I bought 4 days before the c section and on the way it over heated .... the worst feeling in the world knowing I had no reliable transportation to take her to where ever she needed. ... So we kept ona trucking and just kept trying to fix the blazer in between chemo appts and everything. Long story short I was sold a lemon and was 1yr shy of meeting the lemon law qualifications and was out of luck. We kept on and made it thru 2yrs and so much progress in her battle with this stupid cancer and finally she had a break !! I was so proud of her !! We got to live our lives. .... but as life likes to be fiesty....another untimely situation occurred in our home and I had to make the right decision to leave state back here to WA at my parents house to get away from an on going abusive relationship that I refuse to even acknowledge during all that Gia was going through. But I made it. I brought Gia to Seattle Childrens hospital 2yrs ago and we’re finally getting back on our feet . We started reconstruction on Gias pelvic bone about 6months ago and have 2 of the 4 planned surgeries to go. After all this is done I want to start my business that I’ve been planning and working on for the last decade (when I’ve had a few min to myself to write a recipe or finish my business plan). My children deserve the best. And I plan on giving it to them ... so with all of that being said. I am here asking for help. A vehicle of my own again to be able to take my 3 girls anywhere on the weekend and enjoy this amazing state in between .. and as well as all of these weekly physical therapy sessions. Surgeries. Post op appts. And soon to be volley ball (plus can I just say how excited I am to be able to be in my 11yr old twins social life more ... I never could commit cause of all the drs appts .. and now I’m finally able to!!(lol this last part has nothing to do with my asking for help !! I guess it was just a thought that went thru my thumbs. )
    So. Thank you if you’ve even managed to read this far. And thank you for helping a person in need....Even if it isn’t me and my family. This is a great site. xxXxox Nita Soto.
