Local contractor desperately needs his community

Update:01/04- all my People here and all the good people who have offered encouragement kind words and loaner tools for the interim- Desperation has been replaced with hope… I cannot thank you guys enough- I cannot wait to tell my children about this when they can truly understand What is being done out of grace and kindness for them…

First off... I cannot believe I am in this position... please understand that it is with absolute humility and distress that I write this... between Thursday 12/30/21 at 5:00pm and Friday 12/31/21 at 8:00 pm my equipment trailer loaded with tens of thousands of dollars worth of tools disappeared from one of my projects...

I have exhausted all avenues with my insurance agents, both homeowners and business... because of a clerical error... my livelihood is not covered...

I am currently working on three ongoing projects that have come to an abrupt halt because I do not have the mediums in which I use to create things that people love... I am in a position where I truly have no inclination towards what direction I could go other than here... to ask you for help.

I absolutely love what I do. creating, building relationships, and timeless renovations for people to love and enjoy forever... but as I have only been self employed for a little under 2 years, losing all my equipment is a hit that I do not have the liquid funds to recover from.

this is a very difficult time for my wife, my three children, and myself. asking for help is something that does not come easily to me, but if you can, we would be eternally grateful.

the shame and hurt I feel for simply having to write this is very humbling... there are many messages and lessons in this experience and I do hope to work through this and maintain my independent contractor status but I cannot see that happening without the help I am earnestly asking for...
