<div>Late last night, August 18th, into the early morning hours of Tuesday, August 19th, Nic &amp; Sarah Lang's lives were turned upside down. Their home, garage, vehicles, and business were broken into, in a deeply violating robbery. What was taken wasn't just money, tools, and personal belongings — it was years of hard work, sacrifice, and the foundation of their livelihood. The thieves <strong>stole more than $150,000 worth of essential tools and more</strong> — equipment that was crucial to running their business and supporting their family.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Most terrifying of all, it is believed that the thieves were just feet away from their daughter, <strong>Zoey Bee</strong>, while the family slept.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The Langs moved to Albert Lea in 2019 with a dream: to revitalize a portion of South Washington Avenue. The Lang’s have invested everything into restoring three downtown buildings, creating their home, store space, apartments, and a community Makerspace.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Tragically, after a prior break-in, they lost their insurance coverage—leaving them with no protection from this devastating loss. Now, they face an uphill battle they never expected.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With their resources gone, their home violated, and their vision for the community shaken, the Langs need our help — whether through a donation, sharing this page, or sending support in any way you can. <strong>No donation is too small — every dollar will truly make a difference in helping them recover, rebuild, and continue their vision for the community.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Funds raised will go directly toward:</strong>

</div>

<div> • Adding security and safety measures

</div>

<div> • Covering immediate expenses

</div>

<div> • Replacing stolen necessities and tools 

</div>

<div> • Helping them continue rebuilding their home and their dream for Washington Avenue

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>If you can’t give financially, please consider sharing this fundraiser or keeping the Lang family in your prayers. </strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Together, we can help the Langs rise from this hardship and continue building hope in Albert Lea.</strong>

</div>
