Help Geoffs Family come home
Donation protected
Hi I am hosting this fundraiser for my friend Geoff Mockler and his family. These are his words I share with you:
”To all my friends and family, and the people that I don’t know, I need your help! My name is Geoff, I drive truck in Alberta, Canada. It’s not the best paying job, but it is steady work driving a wood chip truck, as long as I can save a little money each month I am happy. Sadly, my savings for the last 3 years having been going to lawyers and the Government to bring my wife and 2 kids to Canada from the Philippines. Every few months since the start the Government throws more requirements and fees at me to hurdle, through much frustration I have succeeded at doing so. Everything was looking good last December, tickets were booked and they were coming home at Christmas, yet again at the last minute they changed the requirements, flight had to be canceled, and more feed and hoops to jump through. Not being one to give up, last week, we got everything solidified again, and my family is about to make the flight next month, and wouldn’t you know it, we have been hit again, they want us to pre book and to pay for a hotel quarantine for my family. There is no way around this, is it has to be done or they will not be allowed to board the flight. With the surprise of me having to do this on top of what I have poured out financially over the last 3 years, I am in a tight spot. I have spent everything to get this far, and yet, may not get my family here if I don’t raise the money to book the stay at the quarantine hotel, by the time they have to take their flight at the end of this month. Basically I have close to 3.5 weeks to make this happen. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you for reading my gofundme, please share my story and help me reach my goal, I need to bring my family home!
Thank you,
Much love,
Geoff and Family.
