Hello, my name is Amber Jourdan. I am the Director of Operations for a small family business that employs my father, my mother, myself and my husband.

My entire family depends on this company to survive.

We are a NonEmergency Medical Transportation company. We have survived the pandemic, unlike many other NEMT businesses, which has left us as the only NEMT business contracted with Medicaid/Medicare in our community and surrounding communities for about a 50 mile radius. We provide necessary transportation every day for dozens of individuals who do not have any other transportation, or are no longer able to drive due to medical conditions. We provide ways to attend doctor's appointments, pick up prescriptions, and even get to the grocery store.

We are raising these funds to fix my vehicle so I can keep taking our clients to their medical appointments. They do not have money for cabs or Ubers, and many of them do not even have that option in the towns they live in. They rely on us to get to their medical appointments and I am concerned what will happen if I have to turn away any of their trips.

We are down to only a few drivers, myself included. Today I hit a deer with the vehicle we purchased in September. Due to the exponentially rising costs of Commercial Automobile Insurance we are only able to carry liability insurance on our vehicles to protect the people we carry. Unfortunately liability insurance does not account for wildlife encounters.

I have dozens of regular clients who I am dedicated to ensuring they get to and from their necessary medical appointments safely and on time. I need my vehicle to accomplish this task. In my area our company only has one other driver (my husband). It takes both of us to take care of all of our regular clients. Very passionate about roadway safety, and conscience of the dangers wildlife present I am overtly careful every time I get on the roads, however this morning the deer could not be avoided.

If you have the ability to help out a family business you would help keep us taking care of our community.
