Third Wave Coffee Stolen Trailer
Donation protected
On October 11, 2020 my cargo trailer was stolen from a job site where it was being spray foamed. I had been working on converting this trailer to a mobile coffee shop that would allow my business (Third Wave Coffee) to survive. Michigan State Police have no leads...social media shares are close to over 1000 and still no one has any information. Third Wave Coffee is a family-run business in Belding, Michigan. Our business was shut down for 4 months and that gave freedom to commit time to seeing this project through. The loss of this dream has taken a toll on our the business and me personally. Much of the time spent on construction my 5 year old son, Ethan was my right hand man. That can not be taken away, but the grief of losing all that progress and now having nothing to show for all those hours of labor is tough to explain to your son.
This was a dream far ahead of the global pandemic and would provide my business opportunity to pivot with all the restrictions placed on businesses like ours. I have exhausted all the channels for getting items replaced and Gofundme is my last chance to get back what I had already started.
Funds will be used to replace the 7x12 trailer I was converting and the tools and materials (including my son's Stanley Jr toolset) that were inside the trailer or previously installed. This would not cover the customized work I had already had done...just recover what was stolen. I was hoping to have this trailer operating this year. I was still in the construction process and have all the necessary equipment ready to install once construction is complete. With so many businesses closing we would appreciate the opportunity to make our business viable going forward in the current climate. Thanks for your contribution to making this dream restored.
