Cancer can bring overwhelming challenges, especially for those in Alabama facing treatment. Alabamotion is dedicated to offering support services specifically designed for cancer patients and their families. We ensure that every dollar raised through vehicle donations goes directly to assisting those in need—enabling access to crucial resources such as transportation, lodging, and survivorship programs.
By donating your vehicle, you help address the financial burdens that can accompany a cancer diagnosis. Your contribution not only provides immediate relief but also significantly impacts patients who may otherwise be unable to afford the vital support services necessary for their treatment journey.

↗Real impact, real numbers
A donation of $1,500 can provide approximately 50 round-trip rides for patients commuting to chemotherapy or radiation appointments who lack transportation options. Alternatively, it can cover a month's worth of lodging for a patient family during treatment. For low-income patients, this donation can also facilitate copay assistance that supports multiple treatment cycles, ensuring they receive the care they need without additional financial stress.
How we vet recipient partners
We rigorously vet our partner nonprofits to ensure they operate with high accountability and transparency. We prioritize those listed with reputable patient assistance networks and those that maintain a high program ratio, meaning that a significant portion of their funding goes directly to patient services rather than research. We also require transparent reporting on the number of patients served, ensuring your donation is effectively utilized.
How proceeds flow
After covering towing and processing costs, approximately 70-80% of the gross proceeds from your vehicle donation will reach our partner organizations. These funds are then allocated according to a program ratio that ensures the majority goes toward direct patient services, maximizing the impact of every dollar raised.
Alabama recipient landscape
In Alabama, the need for cancer patient support services is crucial, particularly in underserved communities. Local programs address unique regional challenges, from transportation barriers to housing during treatment. With limited state-level funding for cancer support, your donation plays an essential role in filling these gaps and ensuring patients receive the help they desperately need.
