Stories

Your words can change the world

Cars For Hope invites you to provide others with a first-hand look at depression, anxiety, self-injury, and their associated challenges and triumphs. If you have a story of struggle or inspiration, personal experience with mental ill health, or have made a difference to somebody’s life we would love for you to share it.

We believe there is so much power in talking about the things no one talks about. So many people are suffering in silence, simply because they’ve never been given permission to voice the things they’re going through. And sometimes if we are able to share our own story, we can help someone else understand theirs.
