You see the little three year old hold her mother’s hand and walk down to the bus stop and then the poor mother walks back and then runs again to work. This happens every day morning and your heart goes out to them…her husband left her recently and you really feel someone should help. There are several single mothers out there and living alone is not an easy task especially if the woman does not have a regular source of income and a vehicle to travel in. You have decided to make a car donation so why not think of the option of donating to a single mother. There are a large number of charities that would accept your car donation and will in turn help such people for you.

A car donation helps a single mother in a very big way as it gives her the independence she needs helps her to commute to the child’s school and to work. It gives her a lot of self confidence and helps her to live with dignity. So while choosing the organization to make your car donation one needs to be very careful and do good research. It is possible the charity is not authentic and may use your automobile just for their own profit. So if the cause for which you want to donate is clear you need to look for a charity which helps single mothers. You will need to get a written statement from them as to how they will use your automobile and in that case you can deduct the fair market value of the car as deduction.
