Vehicles we typically see
Many senior citizens in Wyoming donate well-maintained vehicles, often ones they have cherished for years. Typical donations include reliable models such as Cadillacs, Buicks, Lincoln Town Cars, and Honda Accords, generally ranging in age from 10-20 years. These vehicles are often in great condition, reflecting the care and attention put into their maintenance. Depending on their condition and market value, they can typically be worth between $500 and $5,000, providing a meaningful contribution to support children’s wishes.

We have established partnerships with local senior centers to spread the word about how seniors can easily and meaningfully donate their vehicles. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that vehicle pickups are convenient and sensitive to the needs of our senior community, making it easier than ever to make a difference.
