Agnes & Gayle Klein Fire disaster

Donation protected
My name is Derrick klein and I started this go-fund me account to try and raise some money to help my parents out. I’ll tell you a little bit about what’s going on. For as long as I can remember, my parents telling me and my little brother, when we would ask “what are you going to do later in life?” They said “Were going to sell the shop (cal state glass) and we’re going to sell the house and we’re going to travel” Well I never thought that would happen, but they did it! They sold the family business and finally sold their house, to begin traveling for the rest of their life, or at least untill they were done traveling and possibly settle down somewhere besides california, but I’m not positive what there plans were. These last couple months gayle and ag having been saving up for this trip, and fixing up there motorhome for this trip they were taking, they’re plan was to go up to Kentucky to see gayles oldest son Jeff and to go to long time dream of theres , is to go and watch NASCAR in Nashville, which was what they both wanted to do since forever, and then probably travel to Florida and see if they can help out my cousin that lost everything, due to hurricane Ian. Well they FINALLY left on the evening of June 2nd and just 30 miles from Blythe, they started to smell something, so they pulled over, looked around didn’t see anything, so they continue to move on, we’ll they started to smell something again, so they pulled over and checked out and to find nothing, so kept on moving untill they were sitting there and saw a cloud of smoke between my mom and dad, my mom runs back and sees a flame behind the refrigerator, so panicking my moms grabs a fire extinguisher and puts the fire out, well it was to hot behind there, it started back up, so she put it out again and it would start back up and now she’s out of retardant and the flames are getting bigger. So in a rush they are both yelling at each other “ we gotta go, we gotta go, get what you can, we gotta go, we gotta get the car”. So in a panic, run to the back of the burning coach and struggle to get the car off the dolly, the ratchets are not coming loose, so my dad runs in the car and puts in reverse and slams on the gas and nothing, so my dad gets out of the car, runs up back to the straps with his back to the flames of the motorhome (he said it was so hot, he thought his back was blistering) gives it all his strength and finally broke the ratchets loose and just just in the nick of time was able to get the car off the dolly. So when this long story comes to an end my parents (Gayle and Agnes) sat on the side of the road and watch EVERYTHING they own besides there car, go up in flames right in front of them. This is the most heartbreaking thing I have ever witnessed besides losing my brother and there youngest son in 2007. This really is heartbreaking, and no one deserves this, especially them. My parents would give there shirt off there back for anyone, they have done nothing but good in there life, so to deserve this, dosent make sense at all. They lost there son in august of 2007 and now lost everything they own. So Heartbreaking!!! I cannot believe this kind of things happen to really amazing people, that have all the faith in the world and continue to have faith. So I’m asking for anyone that reads this, if they can help donate what they can, to help Gayle and Agnes (mom and dad) get back on there feet. I don’t know how if feels to loose EVERYTHING THAT I OWN, and hope I never, get to know, but I’m gonna be here for them as much as I can. So I’m asking if you can help out, that would be great! GOD BLESS!
