Without so much as a second thought, Floyd Lucas of Wichita Falls, KS was happy to hand his car off to a vehicle donation center out in his area, which was being opened for the weekend by a trustworthy local brand-name business, whose name has been withheld due to anonymity requests and character defamation conflicts of interest.

However, upon donating his vehicle and receiving the paperwork months later, Floyd noticed something unusual with the amount deemed as the worth of his vehicle: it was about 50% of what the Kelly Blue Book price on the car was, in the condition in which it was donated.

“It was somewhat shocking to me. I had to look further into it to find out what had happened. I hate it when the math doesn’t add up,” Mr. Lucas confided, “and in this act of charity that I’d set forth to change someone’s life with, it just felt like something had gone afoul.”

Indeed, Mr. Lucas’ investigative attribute lead him to reveal a disheartening detail about how the vehicle donation had transpired: the corporation who accepted the donation ended up pocketing 50% of the overall donated value of the vehicle, deeming this a fee for processing and handling the donation.

“I’m sorry,” lamented Mr. Lucas, “but I just can’t see any donation taking $1000 out of a hand-out to a needy family, and calling that a handling fee. I was outraged, and by the time I knew anything of it, the damage had been irreparably done.”

Mr. Lucas isn’t alone. Every year, hundreds of families entrust their efforts in donating an old or used automobile to the hands of a company with corporate interests afoot, or another type of uncertified for-profit organization whose only intention is the skim what they can off the top.
