Support Gonzo: Replace Stolen Tools
Donation protected
On Saturday, November 9, 2024, in San Diego, our friend Gonzo (Jacob Gonzales) faced a massive loss – someone broke into his car parked outside of a venue while he was working at a Desert Hearts event. They stole his entire collection (~$20,000 worth) of Milwaukee tools.
These weren’t just tools; they were Gonzo's lifeline for work, his projects, and his creativity. Without them, he's at a standstill.
Our current goal of $20,000 will go towards replacing:
- ~ $8,000: power tools
- ~ $4,000: hand tools
- ~ $2,000: tool boxes
- ~ $2,000: batteries
- ~ $1,000: personal items
- ~ $1,000: misc. niche tools and hardware
- ~ $750: Car window+tint fix
- ~ $1,000: on hours lost and misc. expenses
If you know Gonzo, you know how much he loves his tools and how much he does for our community.
Let’s rally together to help replace his toolkit so he can get back to building amazing things. Any contribution helps!
Thank you for your support. ❤️
