Christmas Request

We have a new request from Christian Services to help a single mother from the Sparrow’s Nest program.  Jamie currently has a car which, as is often the case, has frequent issues and will not last much longer.  Jamie has her own cleaning business, so a car is essential to maintain her income, but she has not built up enough savings yet to afford to purchase one.  She has two children ages 9 and 4.

As some of you may know, the Sparrow’s Nest program was started by MaryAnn  Harkema, the founder and retired director of Christian Services, to enable single mothers to afford a mobile home. They pay a modest rent for 2 years and are required to take classes to manage money, and upon successfully completing the program, they are deeded the title to their mobile home.
This vetting enables us to be certain the car is being used as intended and to extend the assistance generated by others to get this single mother to be totally self-sufficient.

I hope you can support this very worth-while person, and remember, CarsINC (cars in the name of Christ) is a 501 (c)(3) organization, so any contribution to us is tax-deductible as a charitable contribution on your income tax return.

Car #42 Goes to Malinda!

Thanks to your Thanksgiving support, we were able to give "the gift of a lift" to Malinda.  Here she is with her new-to-her Chevy Cobalt.

Thanks for making this gift possible!

Celebrate your Dad by giving " the Gift of a Lift" today!

Father's Day will be here soon.  What better way to honor your dad, than by helping a single mom (or dad) with the gift of a gently used car?

Your donation to CarsINC helps us buy and refurbish gently used cars to give to women (and a few good men!) who need transportation to get to and from a job, in order to help support their family.

I will be giving "the gift of a lift" for Father's Day, to honor my Dad, Tom Repaskey, who works so hard to make sure other Moms (and dads) get a car that improves their lives.

Thanks, Dad!

Celebrate your mom with "the gift of a lift" for a single mother in need

Mother's Day will be here soon.  We have the perfect gift idea for the mom who has everything--a gift to CarsINC!

Help a single mom with your financial gift (or your used car!), so that we can buy a car for her to get her to and from work.  Some moms take the bus both ways, preventing them from working full-time because the bus ride is so long.

If you want to celebrate your Mom this Mother's Day, help us with your "gift of a lift!"

Car #41 goes to Julie

Julie is a member of St. Paul's Church in Lansing and was out of work for over 2 months due to neck surgery.  Her 15 year old car needed to be replaced, and your gifts made it possible for Julie to get a gently used new car.

Thank you for your financial gifts that make it possible for all of us to give "the gift of a lift" to women like Julie who need reliable transportation.  There are two more women who need your help, today!

Make your gift payable to CarsINC and send it to: 4295 Okemos Rd, Ste 120, Okemos MI 48864.

Thank you!

The 40th car goes to Heather!

Here is Heather, along with her two kids 8 and 5.  They are standing in front of their gently used 1999 Chevy Lumina with 66,000 miles.  She is thrilled to have a car to get her back and forth to work.

Thank you for your financial help to give Heather "the gift of a lift!"

Looking for 2 Cars in the New Year!

There are two single moms who need "the gift of a lift." 

Having a gently used car will help them get to and from their jobs.  One of the moms has five kids, so she needs a larger car or van. 

Do you have a gently used car you can give?  CarsINC will give you the full tax deduction for your gift.

If you can make a contribution to help these two women, send your donation to
