There’s nothing like being on the water with the people who matter to you, enjoying the time you spend with them aboard your wakeboard boat or riding behind it. Although you’ll always cherish those memories, there will come a time when you have to let go of that boat. That’s the time when you’ll have outgrown your interest in using it or when it’s already costing you a fortune in repairs and maintenance bills.
When that time comes, consider donating that boat to Veteran Car Donations. Your contribution will allow needy veterans in your local area to live healthier and productive lives.
You’re probably aware that many of our retired troops are struggling to get by due to unemployment, illness, and poverty. We at Veteran Car Donations, together with our IRS-approved 501(c)3 nonprofit partners, believe that we have a moral obligation to provide the best quality of care to our veterans. Let’s not forget that these were the brave men and women who endured huge sacrifices and risked their lives to defend our freedom and protect our nation’s security.
How Transitioning Becomes a Problem for Veterans
Some of us are probably thinking that our veterans have had the most stressful time of their lives when they were on the battlefield. The truth is that they often experience the most challenging times of their lives after they get discharged from the service. Contrary to what some of us might think, transitioning back to civilian life is far from being easy. It’s even harder for vets who don’t have access to transitioning programs and services provided by the government.
Since our troops spent years in training camps with strict supervision, reintegrating themselves into our society can be a difficult and painful process. Many of them return home for good with severe service-related injuries that have led to multiple amputations. Others suffer from mental health issues that have made it impossible for them to find stable and rewarding jobs. Without the assistance they need, they would continue living miserable lives.
How Your Wakeboard Boat Donation Will Help Our Vets
When you make a wakeboard boat donation to us, we’ll sell it via auction and use the proceeds to support our charity partners’ veteran-focused programs. Out of these programs, deserving veterans receive the following services:
- Treatment of those suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and other mental health issues;
- Various forms of assistance to veterans confined in military hospitals;
- Financial and other forms of aid to destitute, low-income, and homeless veterans;
- Programs to help veterans and their spouses find meaningful employment that suits their abilities;
- Sponsorship of events that encourage companies and organizations to give back to the veteran community; and
- Therapeutic activities to help veterans rehabilitate and reintegrate themselves into society as well as relax and enjoy the company of their loved ones to strengthen family ties.
Donating to Us is Easy!
Our donation process is made up of three incredibly easy steps. It assures zero stress on your part while we do the heavy lifting. Take a look at our wakeboard boat donations process and see for yourself:
