Hello, my name is Brandi Westom and I am starting a GoFundMe for my husband and mine's dear friends, Brian Kramer and Mallory Evenson, who just lost their shop/garage.

This wasn't just a shop or garage.

It was a lifetime of memories, hard work, and family history gone in a matter of moments.

Inside that shop were countless tools passed down from a grandfather, a late father, over a decade of personal investments (including at least $20,000 worth of tools), woodworking tools, chainsaws used to heat their home, snowmobiles (4 of them) passed down from late generations, racing trophies that can never be replaced, fishing gear, side by side, and so much more. This was a place where kids played, many good memories were made, and generations of family and friends came together.

Beyond the physical loss, this shop represented their livelihood, their passions, and irreplaceable pieces of family history. There were many photos and keepsakes from loved ones who are no longer here. These things simply cannot be replaced.

We are starting this GoFundMe to help ease the overwhelming financial burden they are now facing and to show this family that they are not alone. Any donation, no matter the size, will help them begin the long road of rebuilding, replacing, and restoring some sense of normalcy after this heartbreaking loss.

If you can't donate, please consider sharing. The support, prayers, and kindness mean more than words can express. Thank you for standing with this family during one of the hardest moments of their lives.
