Chris's Automotive Employee Fund

Chris' Automotive is a local automotive repair business operating in Jacksonville since 2011.  Today the owner, Carlita Martin and 5 employees have lost their income for the foreseeable future - certainly through the holiday.

While Carlita was visiting her first grandchild in Atlanta, the shop caught on fire.  When the firefighters arrived on the scene, the employees were trying to contain the 100' fire with extinguishers; however, it was too much.

Although there is insurance, now those heroic employees will be out of work for the near future while things get sorted and rebuilt.  Obviously, the rent on the business won't be due but the employees rent and other necessities will continue.  The holidays are around the corner and there won't be any paychecks coming in for a while.  Most of the guys have small kids who's Christmas is now in jeopardy.

This gofundme is to raise money to get them through the next 4-6 weeks and hopefully put some presents under the tree. 

With many folks operating pay check to pay check and rent due in two weeks, any help is appreciated!
