<div>Hi everyone I am fundraising for my brother Patrick Guider, who was recently fired as the manager of the Irondequoit Big Lots for standing up for his employees and his beliefs when he followed a thief from his store who assaulted his assistant manager. Pat has spent his whole life being one of the  Good guys and always going out of his way to help anyone who asked and even when they didn’t. Upon his firing his insurance was dropped. He lost 2/3rds of the family income as well! He has 4 sons, 2 in college. He has not received anything from Big Lots in regards to his termination. I am just trying to get him a little help to make sure his family is taken care of. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bob Lonsberry interviewed him &amp; wrote an article about his situation and he will be on the channel 10 news at 6:00 this evening with Berkeley Brean. Pat did not request I do a go fund me for him and probably will be unhappy with me about. He is a man who doesn’t ask for help but always helps others!
</div>

</div>
<div>Here is a link to the great news article on Pats story from Bob Lonsberry: <a href="https://wham1180.iheart.com/content/2024-06-05-lonsberry-help-wronged-employee-get-his-job-back" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://wham1180.iheart.com/content/2024-06-05-lonsberry-help-wronged-employee-get-his-job-back/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://wham1180.iheart.com/content/2024-06-05-lonsberry-help-wronged-employee-get-his-job-back/</a></a>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>I would be very grateful for any contributions made to help Pat until he finds another hopefully more suitable job. I know Pat &amp; his family would be as well!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>More media coverage! The video and articles have been posted on many websites and Pat is being contacted by reporters asking to interview him about this. THANK YOU to everyone who has shared and commented about this issue on social media - it is because of all of you that this injustice is continuing to get the attention it deserves!
