Donation protected
With heavy hearts, we share the news of the passing of our beloved Satwinder Tiwana. Satwinder was a loving husband, father, grandpa, brother, and son who brought so much joy and laughter into our lives. The Tiwana family is heartbroken by his loss and is now facing financial difficulties. We are reaching out to our community for support. Any contribution, no matter how small, will help alleviate the financial burden. Thank you for your kindness and generosity during this difficult time.

On March 25, 2025, my dear friend Susanna lost the life of her husband, Satwinder Tiwana, of 20 years. They met in the small town of Dos Palos, CA. He was well known in the community; everyone knew him as “Tony.” He raised and became a father to their children Marissa and Joshua. Together they had their son Josiah, who is 15 years old.

Susanna and Tony owned and operated their trucking company for the past 15 years. However, it all came to a stop 2 years ago. After Tony suffered through 3 heart attacks. Forcing Tony to retire his 18-wheeled tractor/trailer. Susanna was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia, leaving them both at a crossroads. Tony moved from California to Wisconsin to begin his career change. There, he began to set up a new life for their family. However, he was still faced with the stress of liquidating the trucking company, which had a debt of $100k. Three days after Tony took his own life, Susanna was served by the debt collectors, suing her for the $100k debt left by the trucking company. Tony's passing has left her in disbelief, confused, heartbroken, and financially scared, not knowing which way to go while still having to raise their 15-year-old son.

Trucker's Prayer
Lord, please help me be safe as I travel each mile. Let your presence guide me and bring me a smile. Take care of my family while I am away. Let them know I miss them each and every day. Steer me clear of danger as I drive these miles alone. I put my hands in yours, Lord.
