<div>On the evening of Thursday, April 23, 2026, an EF4 tornado tore through Enid, Oklahoma, changing lives in an instant. My brother-in-law, Joe Lamerton, was directly in its path. His woodworking shop—along with the tools, equipment, and materials he relies on—was completely destroyed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Joe is the craftsman behind Jos Lamerton – Heirloom Quality Furniture, where he builds custom, made-to-order pieces for clients across the country and internationally. His work is more than furniture—it’s functional art, created to be used, loved, and passed down for generations. His guiding belief is simple:  “Built for Family. Built for Life.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Joe has spent years honing his craft, using time-tested techniques, strong joinery, quality materials, and carefully selected finishes to create pieces that truly last. Everything he builds reflects his dedication, pride, and passion for his work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Beyond his craft, Joe is a devoted husband and a proud father to two young boys. The loss of his shop doesn’t just impact his work—it impacts his ability to provide for his family and continue doing what he loves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser has been created to help Joe begin the process of rebuilding—replacing essential tools and equipment, restoring his workspace, and getting back to creating. Rebuilding a shop like his doesn’t happen overnight, but with support, it can happen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How Funds Will Be Used
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds raised will go directly toward helping Joe rebuild and restart his woodworking operation, including:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Replacing essential woodworking tools and machinery
</li>
<li>Purchasing materials needed to fulfill existing and future orders
</li>
<li>Rebuilding or repairing the shop space
</li>
<li>Covering immediate expenses while he is unable to work
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you know Joe, you know the care he puts into everything he does. If you don’t, we hope you’ll consider supporting someone who has dedicated his life to building things that last—and now needs help rebuilding what was lost.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference. And if you’re not able to give, sharing this page with others is incredibly appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your support, your generosity, and for helping Joe and his family take the first steps forward.
</div>
