It's always a great feeling to know that you're helping someone in need. But as good as our intentions may be, our busy lifestyles often make it difficult to find the time to make a difference. Thankfully, there are numerous charities through which we can donate our money, when we can't donate our time. One of the best ways to benefit your favorite charity these days is through an automobile donation. Car donations can be a great source of much-needed funds for a number of charitable organizations that accept them. And because car donations can count as a tax deduction, you can help the needy and still recoup your investment at tax time. There is no shortage of charitable organizations benefiting from car donations. Well-known charities such as Habitat For Humanity, the United Breast Cancer Foundation, and USO all receive funds from auto donations. There are also dozens of smaller charities who benefit from this type of donation. The donation process is fairly simple and straightforward. You'll have to choose a charity whose cause you'd like to benefit. If you're interested in deducting the donation from your taxes, make sure that the charity is classified as a 501(c)(3) organization. There are quite a few organizations to choose from, so narrow down your choices by considering what charitable missions mean the most to you... this way, you're not just randomly donating, the donation actually reflects what you believe in most. Once you've settled on which lucky organization will receive your car donation, you'll need to contact the organization and go through some simple paperwork. After that, the organization will arrange to have the vehicle picked up over the next few days. These charities are very time efficient in picking up your vehicle, and will often show up for the vehicle in less than 72 hours after your first contact with the organization. You'll get some type of receipt at the time of pickup. In most states, you'll want to make sure that you sign over the title and remove your license plates before the vehicle is carried away. Check with your attorney and local Department of Motor Vehicles for specific requirements in your area. After this, the charity will likely resell the vehicle and use the funds towards their mission. Make sure they send you the documentation showing what the vehicle sold for, so you can use that as proof of your donation on your tax return. Car donations can go a long way toward making the world a better place for others. They're a fairly simple, straightforward way to make a large donation towards a worthy cause. You can have the satisfaction of knowing you benefited a charity you believe in, while also looking forward to a great deduction at tax time.

Modal 5 Ayam, Suciati Wujudkan Mimpi Bangun Masjid Megah di Yogya


Sebuah masjid tampak berdiri megah dengan aksen khas Timur Tengah dan Jawa di atas lahan seluas 1.600 meter persegi di Jalan Gito Gati, Sleman, Yogyakarta. Balutan marmer tampak memperindah masjid yang memiliki tiga lantai dan satu basement itu.
Siapa sangka, masjid megah itu dibangun oleh seorang pedagang ayam pedaging atau ayam potong di Yogyakarta bernama Suciati Saliman Riyanto. Wanita kelahiran Yogyakarta 66 tahun lalu ini sudah merintis usaha ayam potong ini sejak duduk di kelas 2 SMP.
Saat itu, ia hanya memiliki modal Rp 175 ribu pemberian kedua orangtuanya. Uang tersebut lantas ia gunakan untuk membeli lima ekor ayam.
“Saya sejak SMP sudah jualan ayam awalnya lima ekor di Pasar Terban. Sejak SMP saya memimpikan membangun masjid,” ujar Suciati di masjid yang dibangunnya (28/5).
Waktu itu, dengan membonceng sepeda onthel ibunya, pukul 06.00 WIB, ia berangkat ke Pasar Terban untuk menjajakan ayam yang telah disembelih ayahnya itu. Baru setelah itu, ia langsung menunaikan kewajibannya menuntut ilmu.
“Pagi bapak yang menyembelih. Nanti saya bawa ke pasar. Pukul 07.00 WIB habis ndak habis saya ke sekolah. Kalau enggak habis saya jual ke ibu-ibu dosen UGM karena dulu enggak ada freezer. Kulkas itu barang mewah, saya juga nunut (nitip) di ibu-ibu dosen UGM,” kisahnya.
Hingga lulus SMP, sudah ada 15 ekor ayam yang berhasil ia jual. Usahanya tersebut terus berlanjut hingga ia menempuh pendidikan di STM Kimia Jetis dan mampu menjual 70 ekor ayam.
Usahanya semakin meningkat setelah ia menikah dengan seorang pegawai Dinsos, Saliman Riyanto Saharjo. Tidak hanya mengajarinya berbisnis, sang suami pun akhirnya ikut terjun berdagang ayam.
“Suami ngajarin saya bikin kartu nama, bikin selebaran untuk diselipkan di koran-koran,” kenangnya.
Menjadi pedagang ayam sendiri sebenarnya sudah lama menjadi pilihan hidup Suciati setelah mendapat nasihat dari sang nenek. Ia juga berusaha menerapkan falsafah Jawa, ‘urip iku urup’ yang berarti hidup itu memberi manfaat sebanyak-banyaknya ke sesama.
Kini, dari lima ekor ayam, Suciati telah memiliki 1.300 karyawan dengan dua pabrik di Sleman dan Jombang, Jawa Timur. Dari sanalah, lebih dari 100 ton ayam potong diproduksi setiap harinya.
“Pabrik nugget dan sosis juga ada. Segmennya di Indonesia Timur, jadi wilayah ambilnya di Jombang juga,” tuturnya.

Meski telah sukses, masih ada cita-cita Suciati yang saat ini masih belum terlaksana. Suciati, ingin membangun masjid. Lebih tepatnya, ia baru memantapkan cita-cita itu usai kembali dari ibadah haji.
“Saya memimpikan membangun masjid, 2015 baru terlaksana. Yang mantap membangun masjid itu tahun 1995 sesudah haji saya mantap pingin punya masjid. Karena saya suka sekali masjid Nabawi saya selalu menabung dan menabung juga umroh,” kisahnya.
Selain alasan itu, Suciati juga menjelaskan ia ingin membangun masjid untuk memudahkan karyawannya beribadah. Masjid ini juga sengaja dibuka 24 jam agar para musafir bisa beristirahat atau ikut salat di sini.
“Pertama, karena usaha kami di area sini, pelanggan kami rata-rata malam hari kalau bulan Ramadhan atau salat malam, susah cari masjid. Banyak dari luar kota. Mereka kalau mau salat Subuh, salat malam susah,” tutur putri sulung Suciati, Atik Raharjo (40).
Akhirnya Suciati benar-benar meraalisasikan impiannya itu. Masjid itu diberi nama Masjid Suciati Saliman. Desainnya pun terlihat apik. Kultur Timur Tengah tampak jelas dari desain pintu dengan uliran emas di sepanjang tepiannya. Desain itu, sama dengan desain pintu di Masjid Nabawi, Madinah. Tak hanya pintu, bagian dalamnya pun mirip dengan Masjid Nabawi.
Sementara, atap limas masjid tersebut merupakan hasil serapan dari budaya Jawa yang ingin ditonjolkan. Sebuah bedug berdiameter 130 cm bermaterial kayu trembesi berusia 127 dari Majalengka dan kulit kerbau jantan tampak gagah di samping masjid.
Tak hanya mewah, masjid yang berada persis di samping Jalan Gito Gati tersebut juga ramah lansia dan difabel. Sebab, di bagian dalamnya tersedia lift yang bisa digunakan oleh jemaah.
Suasana Masjid Suciati Saliman
Putri sulung Suciati, Atik, pun mengisahkan cara ibunya menabung untuk membangun masjid. Menurutnya keuntungan dagang yang hendak untuk membangun masjid ditabung terlebih dahulu dengan dibelikan emas.
“Dibeliin emas dulu, ibu suka emas, ada uang sedikit suka ajak saya ke Ketandan beli emas satu gram, dua gram,” terangnya.
Meski Masjid Suciati Saliman baru benar-benar rampung pada Agustus 2018, masjid ini telah diresmikan pada 13 Mei lalu. Adzan pertama dikumandangkan pada 6 Mei 2018, saat itu Suciati sempat meneteskan air mata karena terharu.
Lantas, berapa total biaya pembangungan masjid?
“Nilai masjid enggak bisa dihitung karena sempat terhenti uang juga habis. Ada uang ya bangun lagi,” beber Atik.
Jika cita-cita membangun masjid telah terlaksana, kini Suciati siap untuk merealisasikan cita-citanya yang berikutnya. Mulai dari membuat rumah hafidz, pondok pesantren, sekolah muslim, hingga taman religi.
