We Were Robbed! Help us save our business!

Donation protected
Everything Daniele and I have obtained over the past year (since the last time we were robbed at our old apartment complex) was in this van, and it was all taken last night around 4am, a truck pulled up behind our van and smashed the windows out and stole every tool we own. We had over $10,000 worth of brand new tools, appliances, and misc. other things we don't even know about yet.. All of which we have busted our ass's for day in and day out for years now.  We are a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business with less than 5 employee's and don't make a whole lot to begin with. We've been in HVAC school fulltime for the past 9 months preparing for today, 26 May 2021, the day we graduate college. Today was the beginning of our future, we could finally start working full time and building our company to its full potential like we dreamed of doing. We have worked tirelessly on weekends, and any spare time we had to do jobs for clients and build a 5 star reputation here in Colorado as a highly regarded residential remodeling company. We've managed to keep our business afloat during this crisis, and have spent every dime we have buying tools, acquiring licensing from the state, and purchasing insurance policies, among other necessary items to start our dream company once we graduated school. I managed to pay off my van, and every tool we bought was brand new and for once ours. We had a brand new small apartment size washing machine in the back of the van that we planned on bringing home to surprise a family member with, and we also had a very expensive telescope we bought for my nephews birthday in there because we have a small apartment and nowhere to store any of these things.
To add insult to injury, the thieves even stole the catalytic converter and broke 2 windows on my work van rendering inoperable until I can get it fixed, which will cost over $1000 by itself. 
We are completely out of funds because of the preparation that went in to getting us ready for when we graduate, and the jobs we did have lined up are going to have to be canceled because we no longer have the ability to do them. 
We've made a police report with the Denver PD, but they said there is almost a zero probability of me getting any of this back or them even finding the person who did this.


We are hoping to obtain these funds to replace the tools lost and to repair the van so we can get back to work. Currently, we don't even have a hammer or even a screw driver to our name, let alone any power tools. Anything helps and will be incredibly appreciated. We have worked so hard to acquire all these things, just to have them all stolen in one night.

P.S.-  For anyone wondering or questioning our motives; we do have renters, car, and business insurance that we pay for religiously every month. However, our car insurance won't cover theft, our renters insurance won’t cover business related items, and our business insurance doesn't cover theft from our personal residence, only from a worksite.
