When Bobby passed away in February one
of the concerns his family expressed was how they were going to get him from
Washington, back home to California. I
told his father that there were organizations set up to help families of truck
drivers in times like this and I would do some digging around and call him back
with some information. I called back
about an hour later with the name and phone number for truckersfinalmile.org
I want you to know about this for two
reasons:
1. If you’re reading my blog, you’re
probably either a truck driver or you know one and I want you to know about
this resource if you ever find yourself in the same type of situation as Bobby
and his family were in.
2. This organization runs primarily on
individual donations. It needs our
support and I’m not too shy to ask you to help me support it. Any amount… $10, $25, $50 or more, combined with the
donations of others makes a difference in the life of grieving families.
Three
different family members of Bobby’s called me and thanked me for giving them
the contact information for truckersfinalmile.org. This organization is literally answered
prayer for families in grief without the financial resources to bring their
loved one home.
There
are several organizations that have been created to help truck drivers in
crisis, but after losing Bobby and knowing what his family was going through,
this one is heavy on my heart. I have a
real passion for getting the word out about truckersfinalmile.org
I
hope you will help me get the word out about this worthy organization.
