My name is Kevin, and I’m reaching out during one of the most challenging times I’ve ever faced. Recently, the temporary workshop I was using while building a permanent one burned to the ground. In that fire, I lost all of my high-precision tooling, equipment, and, most heartbreakingly, my customers’ property that was entrusted to me for repair.

The situation was made even more difficult because, living in an unincorporated community near Prescott Valley, we discovered that fire services require a subscription. Despite our desperate calls, no fire department could respond due to jurisdiction issues. To make matters worse, insurance would not cover the temporary structure, and builder risk insurance wasn’t in place yet since the permanent build was still pending.

For those who want more details, the Yavapai County Sheriff's Department shared a post about the fire on their Facebook page: https://fb.watch/DY22fOGdnT/

All proceeds from this fundraiser will go directly toward replacing the specialized equipment I need to rebuild CNC industrial spindle motors, helping my family recover, and making things right for my customers who lost their property in the fire. Many of you know me from my gold mining efforts, but CNC repair is my main source of income. I know economic times are tough for everyone, so any help—whether it’s a donation or just words of condolence—would mean the world to me and my family. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can offer.
