Hello, my name is Jose.

Our dear friend DJ has spent the last 30 years doing what he loves most — building beautiful lowriders, welding, fabricating, and helping anyone who needed their car fixed. His garage wasn’t just a workspace… it was his livelihood, his passion, and a place filled with memories.

Recently, tragedy struck.

A fire tore through DJ’s garage and destroyed nearly everything he worked his entire life to build. His welder, power tools, air compressor, computers, washer and dryer, etc. — gone. In a matter of minutes, decades of hard work and the tools he depended on to provide for him and his family were lost. But what hurts just as much are the memories that lived in that space.

That garage was where late nights were spent talking and laughing. It was where remote control cars raced across the floor and Orbee gel blasters turned ordinary evenings into unforgettable family and friend moments. It wasn’t just a garage — it was part of their home and their story, and who DJ really was.

If you know DJ, you know he’s the first person to show up and help someone else without hesitation. Now he needs us.

We’re raising funds to help DJ replace essential tools, rebuild his workspace, and get back on his feet so he can get back to work to support his family and do what he loves!

Any amount helps. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing.

Let’s help DJ rebuild not just his garage — but the heart of what he’s built for his family, community, and friends!
