<div><strong>Help Save Gene Weierbach’s Auto Repair Business</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi, I'm organizing this fundraiser on behalf of <strong>Gene and Debbie Weierbach</strong>, hardworking, humble members of the North Whitehall Township community who are in the fight of their lives—against unfair treatment by their own local government.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gene is a skilled auto mechanic who has run a mobile repair business on his own property for over 20 years. He’s the kind of guy who quietly shows up for others—whether that’s fixing your car at a fair price, <strong>caring full-time for his disabled adult son with autism and a heart condition, or volunteering for disaster relief </strong>after hurricanes and floods across the country.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But right now, <strong>Gene needs help</strong>. His business—and his ability to support his family—is at serious risk because of a personal vendetta from a township official.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>---
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> What’s Happening?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In early 2023, after a number of unreasonable complaints from longtime customer <strong>Dennis Klusaritz</strong>—who also happens to be a <strong>North Whitehall Township Supervisor</strong>—Gene politely suggested that he might be happier going to another mechanic. Not long after, Gene received a <strong>Cease and Desist order </strong>and a <strong>Notice of Violation</strong> from the township.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It was later revealed that the “anonymous” complaint behind this action was <strong>filed by Klusaritz himself,</strong> who then sat on the board responsible for enforcing it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite Gene’s full compliance with township rules—and a <strong>ruling in his favor from the Zoning Hearing Board</strong>—the township, led by Klusaritz, <strong>appealed their own board’s decision.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now Gene and Debbie are stuck in a legal nightmare, fighting to keep a completely legal, quiet, and respectful business alive. They’ve already spent nearly<strong> $50,000 in legal fees</strong>, with no end in sight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>---
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> Why This Matters</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gene isn’t a faceless business owner. He’s a father, a neighbor, a caregiver, and a community volunteer. He runs his auto business on a 16-acre property, with no complaints from neighbors. He pays taxes. He plays by the rules.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He shouldn’t have to go bankrupt because one local official got offended.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And while <strong>massive commercial projects go unchallenged</strong>, Gene’s family business is being crushed by bureaucracy, politics, and personal ego.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>---
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Donate</strong> what you can. Every dollar helps Gene cover legal costs and fight for his family’s future.
</div>
