Helping Rick Sanchez rebuild
Donation protected
It's time to give back to some one who only thinks of others.
Our good friend Rick has recently lost his house and shop to a fire . While his house was burning he was helping coordinate others safety and helping evac friends neighbors and patients. Rick has helped so many over the years from kids in volunteer programs to many of us in any way he can. He is alway there for others, let's help him cover the things that were lost , that insurance won't cover. Boating gear, wood working equip and all the cool inventions that were in that shop.
Rick will never ask for this on his own so we will do it for him.
Like so many times last summer in Lake County, he was called in to be part of the disaster management team for the Clayton Fire -- being oft called in to work, as usual he put on his boots and grabbed his phone. And, like so many times in last summer's Lake County wildfire apocalypse, his neighborhood was then evacuated. And, while he was evacuating the hospital where he worked, his neighborhood was destroyed.
What took him several decades to assemble was gone in moments. His wood shop, turning lab (and likely 1000 bowls & bowl blanks), sawmill, saws & lumber. Auto shop. Electrical shop. Welding shop. Mechanic's fixit shop. Garden shop and beloved worm bin. Decades of dialed-in rafting gear. House-painting biz equipment. Beastie #1 the Ford truck. The house. (As he often says, all equivalent of the Japanese word for too much stuff -- muda.) The walnut tree capable of producing 70 gallons of walnuts. His only personal treasured item -- his papa's ring. Poof.
He does nothing but give with whatever he has. If folks are able to help him out, many heartfelt thanks.
