Partner Highlight: Project Healing Waters

 

One of our favorite partners is a little-known group that has a beautiful impact on our military community: Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing (PHWFF)!

Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing got its start at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, working with veterans returning from combat in Iraq and Afghanistan to teach wounded combat veterans the therapeutic aspects of fly fishing. Its mission is to help rehabilitate disabled veterans from all eras, through all facets of fly fishing.

Your vehicle donations help fund this excellent outdoor recreational program. It benefits so many and helps make our society a kinder, less stressful place.

If you want to buy a donated vehicle, give cash, or present a car to Cars 2nd Chance to help out with Project Healing Waters, now is a great time to share! Having a second look at your garage could inspire you to donate your unused vehicle and help someone recover from a natural disaster or receive food from the Food Bank. Reach out to cars2ndchance@gmail.com to donate a car. We appreciate your love and support!

A New Year and an Old Car

With the first new day of the year comes a sense of new possibility. We can cast off old habits, old dynamics in favor of new ones just because the calendar change permits us. Back in 1991, singer George Michael shook his head at people resetting their lives by the change of a calendar in the song “Waiting for the Day,” in the line,

Now everybody’s talking about this new decade
like you say the magic number
then just say goodbye to the stupid mistakes you made

Personally, I like the simplicity of the ‘New Year, New Me’ approach. It grants us the power to start fresh with a sense of purpose. We hope we have learned from our mistakes, but more importantly, we continue to survive and thrive despite our missteps.

Here we are in January of 2022. Some folks have received new cars for Christmas, or pre-owned and lightly used cars, anyways. And while that seems a pretty expensive present, I can’t argue against it. It’s a beautiful idea. I just wonder: did you trade in that old car yet?

The amount of value that most people get for car trade-ins rarely helps the sale. You could donate the old car itself to a charitable organization like Cars 2nd Chance and then claim it off your taxes. It could be rescued by top mechanics, loved, and allowed to live on to support charities of Rotary Clubs across the nation. So before you trade a used car in for pennies on the dollar, consider donating it to Cars 2nd Chance!
