On Thursday, April 2, while my dear friend Joe Villarreal away from his shop, tragedy struck. A devastating fire tore through his 40+ year-old, family-owned metal fabrication business—reducing everything inside to ashes. Every tool, every piece of equipment, every supply—gone. In a matter of hours, a lifetime of hard work and the very means of making a living disappeared.

This isn’t just a business—it’s a legacy built through decades of dedication, sacrifice, and pride. It’s how Joe has provided for his family and supported those around him. And if you know Joe, you know this: he’s the first to show up when someone else is in need. He has always been there for others without hesitation.

Now it’s our turn.

This is not a “maybe later” moment—this is a right now moment. Joe needs us. His family needs us. If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could help when it really matters”—this is that time.

We’re asking you to step in, take action, and be part of getting him back on his feet.

Donate what you can—every dollar matters.

Share this with others—your reach makes a difference.

Stand with a man who has spent his life standing for others.

Together, we can help rebuild what was lost and give Joe the chance to continue providing for his family.

Let’s show up for him the way he has always shown up for others.

Don’t wait—be part of the reason he rises again.

Thank you for standing with this family during this incredibly difficult time.
