Hi, my name is Michelle Foley and I'm fundraising to help my in-laws Mike and Diane DiMarzio rebuild after a devastating fire destroyed their garage and small business shop. On July 4th, 2025, Mike and Diane experienced a heartbreaking loss. A fire destroyed their entire garage, and in just a few hours, they lost essential equipment, tools, and materials- everything they've worked so hard to build over the years. What made this loss even harder is that the garage also served as the heart of their small family-run business - a business they've built for over 20+ years of hard work, time and dedication.
Unfortunately, their insurance is only covering a small fraction of the damages - nowhere near enough to replace what was lost or to get their business fully operational again.
They are incredibly humble and very kind people who would never ask for help themselves. In fact, it took me over a week of convincing to even get them to agree to letting me create this GoFundMe. They have always shown up for others, with their time, energy and generosity, donating countless times to charity events, youth and sports groups and many others - and now they're the ones in need.
Not only have they lost their place of work and tools, but they're also losing income every single day because my father in law in unable to work without his equipment. This setback has put an enormous emotional and financial strain on them, and they need help to get their business back on its feet.
If you're able to give - even a little - it would mean the world. And if you're not able to donate right now, a simple share would be deeply appreciated. Additionally, if you feel more comfortable donating to Mike and Diane directly, his venmo is Mike-DiMarzio-1. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and support them during this incredibly difficult time.
