Ray and Patsy have been servicing North Bay for the last 12 years at the Midas Center at Main St E. and Fisher. Unfortunately a workplace accident that could have happened to anyone, happened to them on February 22nd, 2021; engulfing their shop in flames, and leaving Ray and Patsy without a business and without the sufficient funds from insurance to retire.
Everyone made it out of the building, but Ray and his son Travis were taken to the hospital - Ray with multiple second degree burns on his face and arms.

Unprepared for forced retirement, their daughter Jessica thought that the best thing we could do to help would be to make a GoFundMe to give them some financial stability during this unstable time.

Any donation of any size helps an incredible amount. And if a donation isn’t possible, consider sharing this GoFundMe on your social media platforms of choice to help spread the word.

Thank you for helping during such a difficult time.
