Keith Brown & Harold Walker Fund
Friends,
As you are all aware, the state of Louisiana and particularly the city of Baton Rouge was devastated this past weekend by Rain and High Water. Normally we would all watch TV or hear about this on the radio and be thankful that is was not us that was affected. This time was not the case for 2 of our long time FabriClean Partners. Sunday August 13th life for Keith Brown (Employee for 17 years) and Harold Walker (Employee for 11 years) along with their families were forever changed in an instant.
When they woke up Sunday morning water in their homes was up to their ankles, by the time they gathered their thoughts the water was waist high, they had no time to grab even their most prized possessions; they lost everything... they didn't have flood insurance because their homes were not in a flood zone. Keith's home received water almost to the ceiling. Harold's home suffered over 4+ feet of water destroying everything.
Keith Brown is known for his willingness to go the extra mile and always helping others. During his time of need, he left his house and made his way to the FabriClean warehouse where he drove through high water to get everything in the warehouse up off the ground before the water entered the building.
Even though Monday morning was a day most were huddled down assessing their damage and licking their wounds, Keith was making sure he gathered his drivers and sent them out of harm's way to customers who were high and dry. He worked tirelessly the rest of the week making sure that non-affected customers received deliveries outside of the flood zone. Keith is a selfless man that has not asked for any help.
Harold is known for his great attitude and willingness to do anything asked of him.
Steve Elledge, Salesman of BR states: "I am proud to work with these men, if you feel so led to help these guys, follow your heart, they are good men that took a hard hit and are still thinking of others".
FabriClean Supply has established this "Go Fund Me Account" in their names. Jim & Shelly Hericks of FabriClean Supply have pledged to match any and all donations up to $10,000.00. The funds will go directly to these two men to assist in rebuilding their lives. Please search your heart and help us help these two hard working and long time FabriClean Partners.
This fund is being established by Frank Briercheck of FabriClean Supply for the sole purpose of helping our friends in need. It will be overseen by a committee for transparency and to make sure that the funds make it to our friends Keith & Harold.
