Help requested, Joplin MO <<<<<<<<READ Please!!

[Kiwi cop]

It is with some sadness that I find myself in Joplin MO for the next few days needing a little assistance .

While on a US road trip my wife and I were in a vehicle collision. She is in hospital overnight (I hope) and then we need to arrange to get home again.

To add to the situation all our cases etc are in the salvage yard in Carthage and I have been told taxi’s are scarce in Joplin.

Are there any members in this area who could help with a little transport and someone to talk to?

Sorry to impose but being 8,000 miles from home and trying to work things out is proving harder than I thought

There must be some Forum members in the Joplin area

Sorry, so sorry to hear that I truly hope your wife is OK. That’s a helpless feeling to be in a foreign country and be in a bind needing help. I’m in Oklahoma City if you were a little closer, I would be glad to help out and you can PM me if you want.

Kiwi,

Really sorry to hear about your troubles. I hope your wife is Okay to be released by tomorrow, I will pray for her, and you.
Hopefully a forum member close to Joplin will see your post and assist.

Accidents and break-downs have always been my greatest concerns when traveling.

There are two cab companies in Joplin per the Internet.

City Taxi: Phone 417-623-5577

Cross Taxi: Phone 417-609-1109

I hope this is helpful. I am over 1,000 road miles away or I would be glad to help.

First, I hope your wife is OK - that obviously is the most important thing. And as others have stated, I'm a pretty far drive from MO to realistically lend a hand in person. If any other assistance can be provided, financial or otherwise, I'll gladly chip in.

Brent, like others here I feel bloody helpless. If I had a transporter I would fire it up.

We here will keep this thread rolling hoping that members in your vicinity get a chance to see it.

Prayers for Karen's injuries and quick resolution of your predicament

Update

I had forgotten that mu brothers wife has a sister on Oklahoma,

Turns out she is about 3 hours away. She is willing to come and pick us up and we will stay with her until Karen can travel. Then she will get us to Tulsa do we can start our journey home. We will get home, just not sure when yet.

In the meantime I have managed to book a Uber tomorrow to ho get out belongings

Healing prayer and comfort for both.

The Uber probably took care of 70% of your most immediate problems.
The rest should be easier.
We probably have members a few blocks away, but only ACTIVE members count.
And we're pretty far flung.

How is your wife?
God Bless you both!
