Help Me Recover Stolen Tools and Get Back to Work

On Christmas Eve, my paint shop was broken into. Someone forced my garage door open and stole roughly ten thousand dollars worth of tools, including my paint sprayers, generator, and chainsaw.

These are not luxury items or extras. They are the core tools I rely on to do my work, serve clients, provide jobs, and keep my small business running. GIHTIIM Painting Company!

In five years of being in business, I have never experienced anything like this. I had insurance on many things, but I did not have coverage on my tools. I truly never thought I would need it. Unfortunately, that means replacing them now falls fully on me.

I am creating this GoFundMe to invite anyone who feels led to help me recover what was taken so I can get back to work without interruption. My goal is to raise ten thousand dollars to replace the stolen equipment and continue operating my business responsibly, paying payroll, covering expenses, and serving my community well.

Please know that any amount helps. Whether it is a donation of a $1 or all of the $10,000. I'm believing for the best! A share, or a prayer, I am incredibly grateful. I do not take support lightly, and I am humbled by the community that has already shown up with encouragement and love.

As I replace the tools, I plan to share updates and show the new equipment so everyone can see the direct impact of their support. I am excited to rebuild, move forward, and reach this goal together.

Thank you for reading, thank you for your generosity, and thank you for being part of this journey with me.

Merry Christmas, 2025, blessings,

Armando,

Owner of GIHTIIM Painting Co.
