## Story

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® helped a local Kalamazoo family find a silver lining with a surprise move.

When Roybn Schieber's Kalamazoo Valley Community College coworker told her that she needed to move because of her and her husband's medical conditions, Robyn reached out to the local Kalamazoo TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® about potentially helping pitch in with the move.

The TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® team decided this was the perfect time to implement one of its core values to give back to the community.

Local companies in Kalamazoo came together to surprise Laurie & Doug Dykstra by not only letting them know that they will be receiving a free move, but the Dykstra family was also surprised with a variety of donations from other local companies.

"They are amazing; my friends, my family my co-workers, they are all amazing they have been so good to us through all of this," Laura said.
