Stolen Truck and Dog tags of a Beloved Vet
Hello!
My name is Nicole, Jake and Hannah ( who this fundraiser is for) are my brother and sister in-law. This past Labor Day weekend Jake was home helping family members work on house projects only to come home to his truck stolen. The truck was found hours later, but sadly it was totally ruined with parts stolen out of it and all. The one thing stolen that Jake cared most about was his dog tags from the time he spent in Kuwait.
Jake is an Army Veteran. He is hard working and has two children as well. They have only lived in their new home since June and have been working tirelessly on home improvement projects to make their house a home for them and their children. They moved in and unexpectedly had to replace an entire electrical panel and also found out their house contains lead and the kids and them have been in exposure to it since they moved in. The car was paid off so it only had PLPD which does not cover the losses occurred in stolen vehicles. They are such hard working people they would never ask for help (they don't know about this page) and the last thing they need on top of house projects and quite frankly on top of just life in general is saving up/spending the money to replace this truck. Jake works and his son goes to school so working with one vehicle really is not feasible. If you can't help financially even a prayer for things to turn around for them would be so appreciated. Thanks for reading thus far! Really just trying to raise enough to replace his tools and the truck he had to get to work and back to support his family.
A sad add on to this story is that when the truck was found no one was arrested. They were told there is nothing they can do since it is on private property. The truck is completely destroyed and will need replaced.
Warmly,
Nicole
