Hello, my name is Deena Cota and I am creating this account on behalf of my brother-in-law, Ike Cota. Ike is very well-known in Tulare for his local gardening business, "Ike's Yard Care Service", as well as his generosity, lending hand, and kind heart. Early Saturday morning Ike's truck and trailer which contained all his gardening equipment inside, were stolen from the front of his house. Due to this unfortunate event his business schedule is placed on an abrupt hold and he is now in the process of having to replace over $35,000 worth of equipment, as well as a new truck and a trailer. TPD has been notified and involved in hopes of a full recovery, in Jesus' name. Until then, our family has been receiving many requests for donations and we felt it was necessary to create this account for Ike and the loss his business has encountered. He is unaware of this go fund me account because of his need to always want to give instead of receive. We as his family have chose to make it for him and greatly appreciate all the phone calls, texts and prayers.  Although we set a goal of $10,000,  we appreciate any amount that is in your heart you'd be willing to donate, every cent helps.
Thank you and God bless,

The Cota Family
