Roberto Vences is a talented carpenter and member of the Giffin & Crane Team. Shortly before Halloween this year, his work van was stolen from his home along with all the tools inside of it.

Roberto took great care to keep his van mechanically sound and at the time it was stolen it was approaching 300,000 miles. Many of those miles were racked up on his daily commute from Ventura to Santa Barbara where he spends his workdays. While the van was nearly 20 years old, the tools inside of it had been collected over a lifetime as a carpenter and tradesman.

The van has been recovered -although it's condition is still unknown at the time of this writing - but the tools are gone. The goal of this Gofundme page is to help Roberto get the tools he needs to get back to work. All proceeds will go directly to him so that he can get back in the field and back to practicing his craft!

Finally, our donation goal represents the actual cost to replace that lifetime's worth of tools. All donations, no matter how small, are welcome and will go directly to Roberto.

Thank you!

Eric
