https://www.fox46charlotte.com/video/619890 Shawn Weathers, has been a resident of the Charlotte community for years, and a small business owner of Brown Dog Wood Co . which currently employs 6 people, Shawn has literally put everything he has into his business, even keeping himself from paychecks so that his employees are taken care of and he can purchase the tools and materials to satisfy his commitment to his customers. 

In the early morning of Sunday, October 27th, all of Shawn’s hard work and dedication stopped. He woke up to a notification on his phone that his camera had sensed movement and Shawn proceeded to watch his shop being taken away piece by piece.

The robbers, 2 white men with heavy southern accents dressed in painters outfits, proceeded to cut a hole in his aluminum garage door and took every single item of value. While watching the video over again and getting emotional while watching mentions, ” It's like they're breaking into my heart.”

Shawn is a caring individual, often taking in employees with no prior experience and training them, because he has had help along the way and since he is in a position to help he feels a personal devotion to help those who ask for it, no questions asked.

Shawn is a creative hardworking individual and has overcome many obstacles along the way, and this one, by far, is the hardest. Having no idea that he wasn’t protected through his insurance. This robbery has set his business back. As a small business owner, any resources out there that can help him continue making custom furniture and keep his employees working until he can bounce back from this is greatly appreciated.
