Almost two years ago, after retiring from Boeing Ted Workman and his family decided  to take his retirement money and open up his very own Ace Hardware store. It was his dream to open up his own store and maybe even expand into more stores and have his son take over later. Things didn't quite work out and the lack of customers along with theft and criminal vagrants incessant loitering and  bodily assaults he had to call it quits. Now Ted must declare bankruptcy, and will eventually be evicted from his house. To add insult to injury his son needs to have surgery to prevent further damage to his chest cavity. We are raising money to help with sons care and attorney's fees.
