Help Local Business Recover After a Tragic Fire

L&S Appliance was located at 20860 Avenue 152 in Porterville, California. It was opened in the 80’s by my great grandparents. It was family owned, and family operated. This business has supported many families throughout the years. Growing up we were all raised there. My entire family to my: grandparents, my mom, my aunts/uncles, cousins and my siblings and i all grew up there over all these years. Decades of work and memories made, all lost over someone’s dumb decision. My whole family is devastated and heartbroken. At around 3am in the night of 9/19/2024 someone made the decision that changed our lives. Our business was burned from the inside and everything was ruined. From customers appliances, hundreds of parts, tools, and family antiques we kept there. This was my grandparents livelihood, they are both 70 & 80, so working elsewhere is not an option.
