(CLAIR | Simi Valley, CA) – You may remember hearing about Travis Goldberg. Travis is the 29-year-old from Simi Valley who lost his wheelchair-accessible van when it was hit and severely damaged by another driver. That van was more than just a vehicle—it was his lifeline. Travis, who lives with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), relied on this van to stay connected with friends, family, and the community.
When his story first came to light last month, so many people reached out asking how they could help. Now there’s a way: A GoFundMe page has been set up to help Travis get a new van and regain his independence.

Travis has faced more than his fair share of challenges. Diagnosed with DMD as a child, he’s been using a power wheelchair since he was 12. But his disability hasn’t stopped him from living a meaningful and positive life.
“Even though my body doesn’t always cooperate, I focus on what I can still do,” he says.
The accident has made life so much harder for Travis. Without his van, he’s stuck at home, unable to do the things most of us take for granted—visiting friends, going to events, or even running errands.
This is where the Simi Valley community can step in and help.
If you’ve been looking for a way to help Travis, here’s what you can do:
- Donate: Visit Travis’s GoFundMe page and contribute whatever you can. Every dollar gets him closer to a new van.
- Spread the Word: Share the GoFundMe link with your friends, family, and anyone else who might want to help. Every share matters.
- Show Your Support: By donating or sharing his story, you’re doing more than helping Travis—you’re showing him he’s not alone in this.
The holidays are a time for giving, and this is a chance to make a real difference in someone’s life. Let’s come together as a community and help Travis get back on the road to independence. Every little bit helps, and together, we can make it happen.
