Our agents care about our donors and enjoy chatting with them about their lives and the reasons they are donating their cars. &nbsp;Sometimes they even have the power to change those donors\u2019 lives in ways not car related.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of last summer, one of our agents, Beth, took a call from a man who wanted to donate a late model car because he was suffering from an illness which prevented him from driving it. She became concerned when he read off the VIN number phonetically so she could process the transaction: \u201cD like in death, f like in funeral.\u201d She realized that he was depressed, but the tone of his voice compelled her to act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI Googled the police station in his area and spoke with a police officer,\u201d said Beth. \u201cThe officer put me on hold and called the donor immediately. She got back to me, saying that he told her he feels ill but he doesn\u2019t want to commit suicide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beth remembered the date because it was&nbsp;<strong>Labor Day<\/strong>, and it wasn\u2019t so easy to get the police station to pick up the phone. But she was persistent because she was worried about the donor. She may have saved his life through her act of kindness \u2013 if he had been considering suicide, just the call from the police may have changed his mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another donor confided that she chose Kars4Kids to donate her late husband\u2019s car because whenever he showered, he sang the Kars4kids jingle. She thought it would be an appropriate tribute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you are donating your car, feel free to have a chat with the agent who takes your call. In an increasingly impersonalized world, we are real people and so are you. Let\u2019s make a connection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you call&nbsp;Kars4Kids&nbsp;to donate your car, the agent who answers the phone is a real person, not a robot or an employee of some third-party vendor.
