your best bet is to find a rehabber or even a goose lover on a farm forum.
is the goosie catchable? If no one will help and its not catchable it will be ok just needs to be fed through the winter if its a bonded goose its mate will stay with it.

catching it would tell us more

They need Thier wings to be perfect
Hate to say it but at this point it may not be repairable even if it's broken in just the perfect spot, far down on the wing, not near a joint, and not an open fracture
90% of the heavy bodied birds I get with wing fractures need to be euthed sadly
Your best bet is to look for the larger centers that have vets on staff, (preferably ones that are set up to do waterfowland seabirds) most of the avian in home rehabbers I know are not set up to handle such large water birds
