Hey everyone,
I was recently in a bad accident that completely totaled my truck. Thankfully, both Goose (my dog) and I are okay now, but between the medical bills for both of us and the insurance buyout barely covering the loan payoff, I was left with nothing to put toward another truck.
To make things even tougher, this is my final week with a rental truck covered by insurance. After that, I won’t have a way to get to my customers or keep my pool service business running unless I can come up with a down payment for another truck.
My truck wasn’t just transportation — it was the heart of my business and my only way to keep moving forward. Any donation, big or small, truly helps and is very much appreciated. It means so much to me as I try to get back on my feet and back to work.
Thank you all for the support, the shares, and the encouragement. It really does mean the world.
