Help Mr Hatcher replace his van.

Willard Hatcher's van was stolen. Everyone in town sees his van parked at the corner of Johnson and Hudson. It’s practically a Gloucester City landmark. 

That van was not just his transportation, it was quite literally his life. He lost fishing and work gear that he’s used for 60+ years. Tools that belonged to his father, ladders, his whole livelihood. He depends on his truck to make a living.

He's been so grateful to see hundreds of people have shared posts on social media. He doesn't realize it's because he is one of the nicest human beings you could meet. He’s an avid, lifelong outdoorsman in his 70’s. He doesn’t have much, but he’d gladly give any of it to someone in need. He's taught so many people what they know in the woods and on the water while respecting, (and even resuscitating) the wildlife.

The van, the wallet, the tools, the personal memories all gone. Lost contents alone were worth roughly 10k. He has a chance to get a used van that needs work for $3500, and he needs to replace at least some tools so he can get back to making his living.

He would never ask for help, so we are. If it’s within your means, we’d be eternally grateful.
