Local Small Business Becomes Victim to Random Vandalization
Donation protected
We are a local, women operated, small but mighty Cleaning business located in Glendora. We believe in providing excellent paying jobs and top notch services to our clients and are dedicated to our local community in giving back as often as we can.
On the morning of April 20th, we arrived on site to perform our normal daily routine and were devastated and brought to our knees to find that almost 15 vehicles from our fleet, including our cute pink bugs that many of you have grown to love, were shattered, smashed and destroyed all over our company offices in Glendora alongside many of our products, tools and resources we use to conduct business that had been thrown, battered, kicked and abused.
In the wake of the devastation, we reached out to our insurance company only to have our claims denied, of course. So now, we are left with not only shattered minds, but tens of thousands of repairs to get our business up and running again. We are thus kindly and humbly reaching out to our local community for support in raising the funds necessary for us in our trying time to help us rebuild our fleet and become operational again. Many of you may know us from our free-cleanings we offer to help those in need, our various volunteer efforts or even bright and sparkly vehicles designed to put smiles on faces as we drive through your community, and now we in turn are on the opposite side of this as victims of these senseless acts. We are asking for anything you can give to support us, and have capped this request at $25k to replace a multitude of tail lights and headlights, several shattered windows and motors, destroyed products, vandalized paint jobs, destroyed body work as well as busted mirrors and interior dashboards these criminals left us with. Although these vandals destroyed what has taken us years to build in a matter of hours and left our broken hearts and morale along with them, we will not be defeated, and commit to continuing on in our beloved hometown of Glendora.
This is important to us because our clients depend on us and we have commitments and obligations to fulfill despite this serious setback we have encountered. As such, we would like to rebuild our fleet and tools as quickly as possible to get back on the road asap so we can continue to provide jobs to hard working individuals and share our skills and talents for providing sparkling cleanings to our clients!
The funds will be used to replace windows, taillights, headlights, repaint and re-decal vandalized vehicles, mirrors, etc. Along with replace the damaged and destroyed products, equipment and tools the vandals left behind along with any and all revenue lost during this trying time as we piece everything back together.
