Help Jimmy Rebuild After Devastating Fire

Jimmy Bathke is a good friend of mine. He has always been there for me and my grandson Nick when we needed help. Now, with your help, hopefully we can all give him a hand up in his time of need!

Jimmy has worked hard his entire life building his autobody business from the ground up. He has served the community of Goldendale, WA for over 22 years, where he is well known and respected by many.

On Christmas Eve, while he was doing some welding, a spark caused a vehicle to catch on fire. Tragically, the flames engulfed the roof of the shop in a matter of seconds, and the fire quickly grew out of control, destroying not only the building and the vehicle, but also thousands of dollars worth of equipment and tools that made it possible for Jimmy to conduct his business.

Jimmy is a good man. He has helped so many people in his lifetime, donating to many causes and charities on a regular basis. Now, with his business being destroyed by this devastating fire, causing an estimate of over $50,000 worth of damage, he needs our help.

Jimmy has many friends and associates all over the world. He is well known as a Master falconer, always being more than willing to offer knowledge and advice to fellow falconers near and far. Anything that you can contribute to help my friend recover from this tragic event would be so appreciated, either by donating through this GoFundMe page or sharing it as much as possible.

Many people from the small community of Goldendale showed up at Jimmy's today to begin the process of cleaning up and hauling away all the debris. How wonderful is that!

Unfortunately, Jimmy has a long road ahead of him to rebuild and start over. Please donate to this worthy cause. Thank you so much.
