The house you may have seen burning up in flames near the Valley Fair mall, that was mine. I'm an honest man who invested my whole life - blood, sweat, tears, sleep, years off my life - into my flooring company. I worked side-by-side for 12-13 years with my two star employees, my mini dachshunds Mama and Hambone. All I could do was hold them as we watched everything we lived for burn down. I never imagined having to organize a GoFundMe in my life. I'm trying with everything left in me not to fall victim to misery or bitterness. All I can do is ask for help.
