Have a heart,when others don't
Donation protected
This is a fund my family and I set up for my dad...the world's most amazing dad in a lot of people's eyes.
We wanted to share something going on in our family that we are asking and praying for help with. December 13th around 10:40am, our dad’s car was stolen right in front of his house…broad daylight, in a matter of seconds. Inside of it were all of his tools…with a brand new toolbox that he just got. It’s heartbreaking and we can’t understand why this would happen to such a great man.
A little back story…our dad, 66 year old “retired” veteran, went back to work to make ends meet. He worked as a printer/copier technician for most of his life after the Air Force, and supported our entire family with that career. Retirement came and went and he was back to work within no time. He was contracted by a company to service printers and copiers in the local and surrounding towns of Omaha, NE. This required that he drive hundreds of miles a day at times to complete all of his service calls.He needed a more reliable car. My brother was working at a car dealership and sold him a 1990 pristine condition Honda Accord that served his needs. Our dad didn’t have the money to purchase the car. I didn’t hesitate to loan my dad the money to get the car he needed so that he could work to make ends meet. My dad gave me and my family everything growing up, so I am always eager to help him when I can. He paid me back every dime of that money just a week ago. So, you can imagine the heartbreak he felt to have something that he owned taken from him. He’s a simple man, and doesn’t need or want much…just the necessities.
My brother and I have started this Go Fund Me account to help my dad replace his tools and put towards getting him another car. It would mean a lot if you all would like and share this information, in hopes of finding the thieves, and also replacing what was taken. Thank you in advance, and Happy Holidays!
