Hi everyone,

I am home now. My husbands best friend came out there to Las Vegas, where I met him, and drove home with me. My brother paid for the ticket for him, I didn't have the money to do it.

We are company drivers, the company offered to fly me home, but being where I was, I had to go to Vegas anyhow to catch a flight with my pup, and of course all our things in the truck, I needed to just go home on my own. I needed to do this for both myself and for him.

Right now I am trying to figure out how to pay for getting him home, which is going to be very pricey. I am not sure if it will be the route to go, since he has been out there for over 4 days now, and is still at the examiners office.

My husband had health problems over the last 2 years, nothing that would kill you, but disabling enough to not work. So for that time we have been hovering on the brink of losing everything. We have sold everything we could, all that is left is the house and car, and I don't know if I will be able to hang on to it.

We started this job with the hopes of catching up on things, to finally make life a little easier. Our insurance was cancelled when our last job "administratively terminated" us for being out too long. With the promise to hire us back when he was healed, with of course the proper waiting period for benefits again. We never went back. We had no insurance yet. No health, no life, no nothing.

I am left with the task of trying to see what to do with my life now. All my plans were our plans. We spend every day together for the last 6 years, never running out of things to talk about. He was my rock to lean on, I was his. If there is such a thing as a soulmate, he was mine. After kissing a lot of frogs I found my prince.

I tried contacting all of the people and organizations mentioned above. I haven't to this day heard a word, other than from OOIDA, and they just referred me.

I seems, neither in life, nor death is there a lot of support in this world.

I wanted to thank you all.

Sabine,
With tears I will try to struggle thru this. I truly feel for you and want to help in some way. I have an idea that I "think" may help. I've been involved with some other groups where I was well known and have set up a fund to help them. Since I am unknown here and have not developed the trust of members here, I suggest that you set up an account at PayPal
You may already have an account there. Anyone, once an account is set up please come back and tell us and I am sure that the truckers here can all pull together and contribute to the fund for a fallen trucker.
CAD has over 11 thousand registered users. IF just a small percentage of them will give a few dollars, we can get your husband home and maybe give you some space to heal and start over.

Send me a PM with phone where I can contact you and I'll help if I can.

You may try contacting the Red Cross or Salvation Army. I wish I could be of more help. My condolences.

 

i will pray for you..i can help take up offerings i have 100$ to start plz PM me for help... i know this seems like a strange request but believe it or not some people do like to help others in there time of need

 

anyone else want to help?????

 

I'm so sorry Sabine. I can't imagine what you're going thru. Prayers to you.

I love the idea of a paypal acct. And Sabine talk to your banker about refinancing, both the house and the car, maybe combining both into a small payment per month. My sister's bank did this after her husband died.

I hope you have family with you and remember one day at a time.

 

thank you everyone for even the idea of helping.

If you would like to verify my husbands death, the local Funeral home here in Fredericktown, MO called Wilson Funeral Home is handling everything, their number is 573-783-6413, and they can confirm everything I have been saying. Oh, my hubbies name was Anthony Henkin.

I do have a paypal account. It is under my email address, which is [email protected]

NO ONE please think I am expecting anything. At this point kind words are both needed and appreciated. I am not asking for anything, just the offer alone made my heart skip a beat, since I can't believe strangers would even offer this.

There seems to be more good people left in the world than I ever thought.

Thank you all.

With a broken heart, at home, in Missouri.

OK Guys, Let's all show Sabine where are hearts are. Having very limited funds at the moment and starting school this month to get my new career started, I can't help a whole lot. But if we ALL just contribute a little bit we can help a fallen truckers wife. I don't know about all of you that are reading this thread, but it just makes me feel better to help in what little way that I can.

Sabine, I noticed that you NEVER asked for money. I just felt that if we had the opportunity to help that just maybe many of us would. I still believe that there are more good people then there are bad even though it may not seem like it with what we see in the news and the horror stories that we all hear.

You already have our prayers and I sincerely hope that they are helping. I now pray that the members here will also help with the physical things.

 

thank you

 

you are most certainly welcome
