Help Rebuild Our Dreams After Life's Storms

Donation protected
Hello friends, family, and kind strangers,

My name is Mike, and I'm reaching out with a hopeful heart and a determination to rebuild the dreams that have been derailed by life's unexpected challenges. I'm asking for your generosity as I strive to raise $1,000 to get back on my feet and support my family of six, along with our two beloved dogs.

**The Road So Far:**

Before the pandemic, I was a small business owner, running a logistics company with four trucks. When COVID-19 hit, like so many others, my business suffered drastically. I was forced to shut down temporarily, and in an effort to keep our household afloat, I took a job in the oilfields. But now, my goal is to return to the business where my passion truly lies—logistics, to not only rebuild but also to provide a stable income for my family.

I am the head of our household, directly responsible for providing for six people and two energetic dogs. The past few years have been incredibly challenging, but also filled with love and resilience. My mother has undergone two surgeries in the last 18 months, which have had an emotional and financial impact on us. Amid all this, my spirited 3-year-old child fills our lives with joy and energy, reminding me daily of the importance of striving for a better future.

**The Journey Ahead:**

Getting back into logistics is not without its challenges. Of the four trucks I once owned, I lost two—one to financial constraints and another sits inoperable after years of being idle. The remaining truck requires mechanical repairs due to sitting for an extended period. Your contribution will go toward repairing and reviving the truck, which is essential to restarting my logistics business.

In 2021, I also experienced a motorcycle accident that added to the hurdles, further complicating my journey. Thankfully, I have managed to recover, but the road to restoring my business has been rocky.

**Why I Need Your Help:**

I believe that with community support, I can make this comeback. Your donation, no matter the size, will help me:

1. Repair my remaining truck to get it back on the road.
2. Cover essential expenses that will help stabilize my family's immediate needs.
3. Begin setting the foundation for the revitalization of my logistics business.

Your support means more than just financial help—it's a step toward rebuilding my livelihood and securing a brighter future for my family. By contributing to this GoFundMe, you're not only assisting with tangible needs, but also pouring hope and possibility into our lives.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for considering supporting us in this journey. Every donation brings us one step closer to rebuilding and thriving once again. Please feel free to share our story with others who might feel moved to help.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Mike Goosby II
