As soon as I'm able to receive enough to be able to leave to help with travel expenses within hours we will be on are way hoping and praying others will follow and more funds will come to help us safely achieve our objective as we work our way south.
**About Me:**
I am a certified professional with a background in search and rescue, fire ground operations, and mechanics. I hold multiple certifications from FEMA and have volunteered as a firefighter in California fighting fires and working as an incident Commander for flash flooding .My skills include machine operation and I have a Class A CDL license, with over a million miles of safe driving experience with multiple other certifications and extensive trainings.
Despite having to pause my contracting business recently due to family issues, my desire to help others has only grown stronger. We have the knowledge and tools to make a difference, but I need support to mobilize. I am prepared to leave my family behind to assist those in need, and I truly believe this is my calling.
**Why This Matters:**
Having experienced a flood myself last year, I understand the feeling of helplessness when you can’t get the support you need. It fuels my passion to give back and assist others during their times of crisis. I’ve always believed in the importance of community, and now I’m asking for your support to help me help others.
**How You Can Help:**
If you are able to contribute, any donation will go directly toward travel expenses and the necessary tools and supplies for this relief mission. Even small donations can make a big difference. I am also open to any connections or suggestions on resources that could support my journey.
Thank you for considering my request. Together, we can clear the path towards recovery for those impacted by this disaster. Every bit of help counts, and I am grateful for your support.
With heartfelt thanks,
Arthur Chadwick
