From family business to ashes

Donation protected
Este negocio familiar comenzó cuando apenas teníamos 17 y 22 años. Hoy, con 51 y 56 años, junto a nuestros hijos, quienes también crecieron y construyeron este sueño con nosotros, vemos cómo lo que hasta ayer era “Gary Used Auto Parts” y “JC Motors” ha sido afectado por una pérdida que supera cualquier expectativa.

Aquí quedaron años de sacrificio, esfuerzo, sueños, victorias, derrotas, alegrías y tristezas. No solo perdimos un negocio; perdimos parte de nuestra historia, el fruto de toda una vida de trabajo y el sustento de muchas familias.

No solo somos nosotros. Somos 11 empleados que hoy enfrentan la incertidumbre de quedarse sin trabajo. Detrás de cada uno hay familias, hijos y hogares que dependen de este negocio para salir adelante.

después de unas 24 horas intentando de entender y ver cuál es el próximo paso para nosotros, nos dimos cuentas que el seguro solamente nos cubre 10% de la pérdida total,
en este momento tan difícil, cualquier ayuda significa muchísimo para nosotros. Cada dólar hace la diferencia, confiamos en que Dios tiene un propósito para todo, pero si nace de su corazón ayudarnos, se los agradeceremos eternamente.

Que Dios bendiga y multiplique a cada persona que pueda donar, compartir o apoyarnos de cualquier manera. Gracias de todo corazón.




This family business began when we were only 17 and 22 years old. Today, at 51 and 56 years old, alongside our children — who also grew up helping us build this dream — we are watching what until yesterday was known as “Gary Used Auto Parts” and “JC Motors” suffer a loss greater than we ever could have imagined.

Within these years of sacrifice, hard work, dreams, victories, struggles, happiness, sadness, and the livelihood of many families. We did not just lose a business; we lost part of our story and the result of a lifetime of dedication and effort.

This is not only affecting us. We are 11 employees and families now facing the uncertainty of losing their jobs. Behind every employee there is a home, children, and loved ones who depend on this business to move forward.

After 24 hours of trying to understand and figure out our next step is. We came to the realization that our insurance will only cover 10% of the loss. During this incredibly difficult time, any help means the world to us. Every dollar truly makes a difference, because little by little, everything can be rebuilt. We trust that God has a purpose for everything, but if you can find it in your heart to help us in any way, we would be forever grateful.

May God bless and multiply every donation, share, and act of support. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
