Help Tucker Rebuild After South Fork Fire

Hey Everyone,

I am Neil Sedlak I am a fellow mineral dealer and close friend of Tuckers!

We have set up this fundraiser for our friend Tucker who just lost his beautiful home in Ruidoso, New Mexico and everything he owns in the South Fork Fire. Tucker is a big part of the mineral community, and if you know Tucker you know that he is a light in this world for all! A loving and compassionate human being that emantes goodness from his soul! We know we all would like to spread some goodness back his way right now when he could use it the most.

Tucker, Sanuk, and Mowgli are safe, and his family is safe. In addition to processing his own catastrophic loss, he is working tirelessly to also help out family members who have lost their homes, and trying to figure out what's next. By donating, you'll give Tucker a bit of relief during this time, the ability to get things in order for the what's next, and help him build up some essentials to get back on track.

Tucker's immediate needs are a place to live in the interim and a place for Sanuk and Mowgli who will need a new kennel or enclosure out of the heat (ideally, somewhere near Ruidoso), so that Tucker can be more mobile and free to take care of what he needs to. Building an enclosure will cost him around 4-5K. The cost of renting and deposits (if needed), as well as everyday necessities is adding up. Tucker was only able to take with him the wolves, a few shirts, a toothbrush, and a few flats of his inventory. He lost literally everything. His truck was in the shop for maintenance when he had to evacuate, he had to leave his bike, and was able to borrow a family member's Jeep to evacuate. So he needs to rebuild everything, a lot of which he will need before insurance is able to process.

I have been visiting Tucker in Ruidoso for years now and it truly is a magical place! And while we cannot turn back time and prevent this tragic loss our friend, his family and his community have endured, I truly hope that as a community we can come together to ease the stress and financial burden of this situation for Tucker as I know he would do for any of us and be there for him by his side as he rebuilds. As for it is in times such as these when community matters the most.

Anything you can donate is greatly appreciated! Let's come together to help our dear friend and beloved member of our community!
