Druk United Drivers of New York

Life's journey is unpredictable, marked by both joy and hardship. Yet, our greatest strength lies in our shared humanity—our innate capacity to support each other through every twist and turn. Belonging and mutual care aren't just ideals; they're the bedrock of a secure and peaceful existence.

For drivers, life on the road amplifies this vulnerability. Each mile traveled carries inherent risks, and when misfortune strikes, the need for a reliable support system becomes acutely clear. While some may be prepared, many face adversity in isolation. Imagine the profound relief of knowing there's a community ready to lend a hand when you're in turmoil. This is why we're establishing a community for Bhutanese drivers in New York—to forge a strong, supportive community among us, ensuring no one suffers in silence.

As Bhutanese, our collective spirit is ingrained in us, a testament to the highest human values of love and belonging. Many of us are here, far from home, striving to build better lives for ourselves and our families back in Bhutan. We carry the prayers and hopes of those who know us, working tirelessly to make the most of our time. But fate can be cruel, testing our spirit, shattering dreams, and eroding our means of living. The fear of such potential hardship, which any of us could face, often casts a shadow of stress, worry, and anxiety over our lives.

We aim to empower every member to overcome life's trials, fostering mental and psychological well-being by providing a source of peace and security—a place to turn when help is needed most. Our faith rests on the inherent kindness that defines us as Bhutanese, trusting that each of us recognizes the immense possibility of contributing to one another's peace and security, offering practical assistance when it truly matters.
