My Nonprofit Reviews

On February 6, 2024, a devastating event unfolded in our lives as my brother Abdirahim Awabdi tragically passed away in his truck at a small-town truck stop in New Mexico. Living in Columbus, Ohio, and faced with the overwhelming shock and grief, I found myself in a parking lot, grappling with the profound sense of loss and confusion. In this disorienting moment, I turned to a Google search in desperate pursuit of assistance, and it was then that I stumbled upon the Truckers Last Mile website.

Nervously, I entered their website, and with a trembling hand, I dialed their number. To my immense relief, a compassionate and understanding gentleman named Robert Palm answered the call. Overwhelmed with emotion and still processing the heart-wrenching news, I struggled to articulate the situation. Mr. Palm, displaying an extraordinary level of empathy, patiently allowed me the time I needed until I could gather myself to share the details.

After exchanging necessary information, Mr. Palm went above and beyond by taking the initiative to connect with the funeral home in New Mexico, where arrangements were being made to transport my brother's body to Columbus, Ohio. Remarkably, Truckers Last Mile assumed all associated expenses, including travel costs, ensuring a seamless and dignified journey for my brother's final return home.

Mr. Palm's unwavering support did not end there. He maintained regular communication with me, providing updates and reassurance until my brother's body safely arrived. In our darkest hour, Truckers Last Mile became a beacon of light and a true gift from above to our grieving family. Their boundless generosity and compassionate assistance during this time have left an indelible mark on our hearts, for which we will be eternally grateful.
