Your Purple Heart Car Donation - Where It Goes?
by Arturo Ronzon
Your car donation to the Military Order of The Purple Heart Foundation contributes to
helping the causes of veterans, their dependents or heirs. An organization chartered by Congress, the Order has
been helping war veterans and their beneficiaries in the last 70 years in so many ways. It has also been
representing and lobbying the causes and interests of war veterans in government and in congress.
The Purple Heart Foundation raises funds for the service, welfare and rehabilitation not only of its members
(mostly war veterans that have been awarded the Purple Heart medal) but also of those qualified non-members or any
wounded, disabled or handicapped US veteran, his dependents, widow and orphans. Your Purple Heart car donation will
be part of this fund and will support a worthy cause through the many programs and activities of the foundation.
Among the many activities and free assistance that the foundation provides its members and beneficiaries are the
following:
• Providing for the needs of veterans and their family through the provision and processing of claims for
compensation, medical care, education and other benefits
• Providing employment to the handicapped or the disabled; homes to the homeless
• Providing professional attorney representation to veterans in claiming their benefits or appealing denied
claims before the courts
• Providing services to veterans in rural and far-flung areas as well as providing education to veterans on
their benefits and entitlements
• Providing scholarships, tuition assistance, free or subsidized training and education to qualified veterans
and their spouses and to the handicapped or disadvantaged veteran children and orphans
• Providing representation to government, congress and other legislative agencies to promote veteran interests
and issues
• Providing support to other related programs such as disaster relief funds, programs against child sexual and
physical abuse, volunteer programs in veteran hospitals and nursing homes, scholarship programs for nurses, and
many others
These are just some of the benefits a used car donation can do to this marginalized section of our society.
Through the Purple Heart Foundation, your car donation goes a long way in reaching out and changing other people's
lives.
