<div><strong>Devastating Fire Destroys Mechanic Shop Resulting in Total Loss – Help Us Rebuild from the Ashes</strong>
</div>
<div>Dear Friends, Family, and Community Supporters,
</div>
<div>I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to share some unfortunate news. On August 23, 2025, at 1:20 am, a catastrophic fire completely ravaged my father’s self-made mechanic shop, Angel’s Trucks Repair Inc., located in Long Beach Wilmington. What started as a small fire quickly escalated into an inferno that left nothing but complete destruction. The entire building, inventory, equipment, customer trucks, and years of hard work were completely lost overnight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Angel’s Trucks Repair Inc. was founded 10 years ago, and through those years, we have given service to semi-trucks either through general mechanic work, AC, overhauls, tune-ups, etc. For my father, Angel, this was a dream built from scratch, fueled by passion, perseverance, and lots of sacrifice. Now, unfortunately, it’s all gone, and we’re left picking up the pieces.
</div>
<div>The fire not only destroyed our physical space but also our livelihoods. Ten employees are left without work, facing uncertainty. Eight customers are left without their semi-trucks. We’ve lost original truck parts (radiators, oil pumps, starters, batteries, oil/fuel filters, O-rings, etc.), our forklift, and two company trucks. Unfortunately, insurance may not cover everything that was lost. <strong>We want to rise back up and rebuild, which is why we’re launching this GoFundMe to raise money to:</strong>
</div>
<div>• Cover immediate needs like temporary relocation and support for our employees.
</div>
<div>• Purchase essential equipment and inventory to get back on our feet.
</div>
<div>• Pay customers for their total loss trucks.
</div>
<div>• Handle any uncovered costs from cleanup and legal fees.
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter how small, will make a real difference in helping us rebuild. If you can’t donate, please share this campaign with your network—your support in spreading the word is just as valuable.
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us during this incredibly difficult time. Your generosity gives us hope and reminds us that we’re not alone.
</div>
<div>With deepest gratitude,
</div>
<div>Angel G Perez(jr) and Angel Perez, owner of Angel’s Trucks Repair Inc.
