Restore Shirley Williams' Business After Microburst

Let start off by saying thank you for even reading my story.

Hello, my name is Shirley Williams, and I am the owner of ETR Economic Truck Repair in Orangeburg, SC. My husband and I own the property/building together and we work together in, at and for this company. This is our lively hood, our only income. We have put everything into starting this business and keeping it afloat. I tell you no lies when I say have we struggled to do this. Well disaster struck us hard. Our town had a bad storm that included a Microburst that hit our place. {Microbursts: Small, short-lived downbursts with a horizontal diameter of less than 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) and a duration of 2–5 minutes. Despite their size, microbursts can produce destructive winds of up to 168 mph (270 km/h) and can be hazardous for pilots. - Google}. The burst hit our two back bay roll doors and blew them inwards. Rushed through the building then blew outward the front two bay doors and knocked down, the top half, of the front of the building. Mind you, our bay doors are sized for SEMI - Trucks to go through, they are 15’4”w x 15’2”h Commercial HD drum doors. Now I need help replacing the top outside wall and replacing and repairing the doors. {if you're like me, the first thought would be, 'What about the insurance?' - We don't have it. I know its horrible but we just could not afford it. Again, trying to stay afloat was the best we could do.}

Anything you can do, we would GREATLY appreciate.

Thanks again for reading.
