Help for Larry and Vicki Garton

Donation protected

My parents, Larry and Vicki Garton, have owned All Seasons Sports Cards in Frostburg, MD for almost 30 years.  This morning, it was destroyed in a fire.  They didn't own the building, and the store itself could not be insured.  So, they are not getting any money for the loss...and there was an estimated $170,000 in inventory.  My mom is on Disability and my dad has a small pension, so their main source of income was the business.  Because of this, they are very concerned about paying their bills.  The really sad thing is my dad was planning on selling the store in two years, because that is when they expected to have their mortgage paid off.  They are both well-liked in the Frostburg community, so I know they will have a lot of support.  But this was something I thought of to help them recoup even a little bit of the massive amount they lost.  Thanks to everyone that donates, and a special thank you to the firefighters who kept the blaze from spreading and damaging even more of the town!

***I arbitrarily set the goal as $5000, but we hit that in less than 24 hours!  Thanks again to everyone who has donated.  I don't want to increase the goal amount, but additional donations are still more than welcome.  Anything will help.***
