Support Colin's Path to Recovery After Fire

Hi friends and family of Colin Wurtz. My name is Mike Neff, and I am a good friend of Colin's. I watched Colin grow up while attending church at Central Schwenkfelder in Worcester. You could not meet a man with a bigger heart and the willingness to help anyone out. This past Wednesday at 3 pm, a fire broke out at Colin's place of work. The workshop of Bradford Woodworking was a total loss. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Brad and Sandy Smith along with Colin and his wife, Lacey.

Colin lost his tools, finished products, unfinished supplies/projects, and his income moving forward. My goal here is to bring our community together to help get Colin back on his feet so he can continue his path forward of running his own workshop.

Here's a little background on Colin. In the summer of 2015, Colin began working part-time for Bradford Woodworking in Lansdale, PA. At 17 years old, Colin instantly fell in love with furniture making and working with Brad Smith. Upon graduation from Souderton Area High School, Colin began working for Brad full-time. Within the last decade, Colin began designing and building his own furniture with much of Brad's influence appearing in his work. Recently, his own work has been recognized, and he has begun taking orders. This all changed last Wednesday for both Brad and Colin.

Colin posted the following on his Facebook page after the fire: "Family and friends, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love and support as we look to God for a path forward. For those who do not know, unfortunately, we lost Brad's shop in a devastating fire yesterday around 3 pm. Please keep Brad, myself, and our families in your prayers during this incredibly difficult situation. Much love, Colin."

Please join with me in helping Colin get back on track with his dream and ease his worries for him and his wife, Lacey.
