Raising back what was stolen ❤️

Donation protected

Firstly, thank you to everyone for your prayers and willingness to help. It means so much to my family and I. Today, 12/7, my dad got off of work and headed to the bank to cash his check. He continued his way back home, and as you can see in the video had already reversed parked. He normally parks in the back yard, so he went to clear up some junk and open the back gate. While he was doing this, a gray Buick pulled in slowly, went into my dads vehicle, stole 8 thousand dollar cash, and sped off. Once my dad heard his truck door slam he came running out, and attempted to take a picture of the vehicle taking off. He did go back in his truck and saw his money was gone, he even attempted to follow the vehicle but they were already out ofsight at this point. My dad is 62 years old, and has worked construction his whole life. He’s never been handed money, nor has he ever taken the easy way out. He’s worked hard, and done things the right way. He doesn’t have the work benefits we normally have, he’s self employed and always has been. This check was supposed to bring financial relief, and within seconds it was all gone. He has been working hard to pay things off, and save for emergencies, and for this to happen at his age, when he should no longer have to work as hard as he does, is heartbreaking. Whoever did this to him knew he had money in hisvehicle, and knew where it was in the vehicle. So we think, and the police think he was being watched since the bank stop. As of right now, we will be waiting on prints back from the police department to see if my dad can get any type of justice from what was done today. Until then, several of you have asked how you can donate. My dad has never been one to ask for help, instead he’s just always worked harder, but I will happily ask for him. 

Thank you everyone who has helped us by sharing the video, and I will be updating with any new information that comes our way. ❤️
