We lost everything in the fire

On September 19th around 5am, my father received a call that his furniture repair shop had caught on fire.  My parents rushed to the shop and watched 30+ years of my father’s work burn to the ground.  We are so thankful that my father wasn’t at the shop when the fire started, but this fire instantly changed our lives. Many of you know my father, Antonio Martinez, as the honest, hardworking, and selfless person he is.  I look up to him in so many ways, including his work ethic.  He is my hero.  

What happened on the morning of September 19th has been truly devastating to our family.  My father incurred so much loss that unfortunately will not be covered by insurance.  He is too proud and would never ask for help. But I’m here with my family to ask for a small donation to help my father start over. Funds collected will be used to cover losses from the fire and rebuild his business.

 Thank you, dear friends, from the bottom of our hearts.
