Please help replace Francisco's stolen tools.

On Sunday, 13th November 2022, Francisco “Pancho” Guzman’s truck was stolen from the parking lot at Lowe’s in Palm Springs. His old truck contained several thousand dollars’ worth of tools. In the space of ten minutes, his ability to earn an income was severely diminished. The Police have written a report, but the likelihood of recovering these items is low.

Update 11/18/22: We are closing this GoFundMe this morning as sufficient funds have been raised to replace the stolen tools - and to put some gas in the recovered truck! Francisco sends his sincere thanks for all the support the community has shown. He is shocked and humbled at the level of generosity and wishes everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. As the organizer, I would like to thank all the donors for supporting a hard-working and honest local handyman/landscaper. Special thanks to The Palm Springs Post for their help in raising awareness and pushing donations into overdrive. Thank you all.

Update: With the help of the community, Francisco's truck was located, and the occupants were detained by the Police. Francisco now has possession of his truck, but as expected, his tools are gone and must be replaced.

Hi, my name is Michael, and I have been a client of Francisco Guzman in the greater Palm Springs area for more than five years. Francisco has assisted with many home improvement projects, from landscape work such as new block walls and concrete pathways to irrigation systems and tree planting or trimming. Francisco has developed a sizeable clientele throughout the Coachella Valley, doing everything from roof repairs to shower tiling to yard work. As is typical, Francisco was working on a Sunday when this crime occurred – he was inside the store buying materials for a client project.

I have set up this fundraiser in the hope that some of Francisco's clients can each help a little bit to get him back on his feet. All proceeds will be paid to Francisco.

Any help you can provide, no matter how small, would be appreciated.

Thank you
