Help Me Keep My Truck on the Road: Engine Replacement

Hi, my name is James, and I’m a truck driver with 8 ½ years of experience. I’ve recently taken a leap of faith and started my own business transporting new RVs from Indiana. After years of working for other companies, I finally decided to build something of my own. But unfortunately, luck hasn’t been on my side.

Just after I started my new venture, my truck—an essential part of my business—broke down. While hauling my second RV, the engine in my Ford F350 threw a rod, and I’m now facing a major repair that I just can't afford on my own. This truck is my livelihood. It’s how I transport RVs and how I plan to grow my new business, but without a working engine, I can’t make a living.

To make matters worse, not long before I started my business, my last company job left me stranded with my two corgis in North Dakota for over a week when they let me go without warning. It was a tough time, and I’m still feeling the aftermath of that experience, which makes the truck breakdown even more challenging.

I’m reaching out because I need help. Replacing the engine in my truck is a financial burden that I simply can’t shoulder alone right now. As a small business owner trying to get back on my feet, any contribution you can offer would make a world of difference in getting me back on the road and continuing my work. Whether it’s a donation or simply sharing my story, every bit of support helps.

I’ve worked hard to get to where I am, and I’m committed to making this business successful, but I can’t do it without a functioning truck. Your generosity would not only help me repair my truck but also keep my dream of running my own business alive.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story. Your support, whether through a donation or sharing my GoFundMe, means more than you can imagine. I’m incredibly grateful for any help you can provide.

Thank you again,

James Balch
