Hello Family, friends, friends of friends and small business owners. On Friday, September 23rd, my brother left early to go on vacation. Shortly after, a fire started on the property where his life's work is located. The picture above says it all. Lee is all things cars. He does anything from oil changes to restorations on irreplaceable classic vehicles. Unfortunately, many of those vehicles were in the building, including cars belonging to him. Think anything from a classic Lincoln to a corvette and a GTO. To do mechanic and bodywork to this level requires a paint booth and about 100K in tools and equipment. It's all destroyed. I'm sure I haven't even covered all that was lost.

Will insurance cover some of it? Yes. But not close to all of it. And Lee has no immediate source of income until that is straightened out. Then he has to purchase all new tools and find a new location. It's going to take time.

If you know Lee, he's the first one to help when help is needed. For once, he needs us.

Thank you for anything you can give and for sharing this post.

Kate
