In 2006, my mom and dad, Dwight and Gail Gabhart, lost their shop in J-Town in a flash flood. Now, all these years later of rebuilding, they lost it all again to a fire. This time, my sister Andrea Payne lost her shop as well.

On Monday, September 15th, 2025, there was a perfect storm of a rag with stain, humidity, and heat, to make their entire shop go up in flames. By the time the fire was put out, everything had been lost. Everything for Custom Laser Accents and WoodWear by Andrea... destroyed.

To make matters even worse, the insurance company will not cover the loss. The $40,000 building and three lasers, one of which cost $30,000, will not be covered. The insurance company will only cover personal items.

I would love to get enough donations to get at least one new laser to get them back on their feet. If you are able to give even a small amount, it will be a huge help!
