Help Replace Stolen Tools

Donation protected
****UPDATE**** I"M HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE BETTY WAS RECOVERED LAST NIGHT 10/27/2018. BUT, UNFORTUNATELY NONE OF MY TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT THAT WERE IN MY TRUCK WERE RECOVERED! MY TAIL GATE IS GONE, AND THE DASH IS RIPPED APART! SHE STILL DRIVES & DUMPS THOUGH AND SHE GOT AN UGLY BLACK SPRAY PAINT JOB. I JUST NEED A LITTLE HELP TRYING TO REPLACE MY TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT!

My name is Carlos Salas. Today October 25th 2018 I went outside to discover that my dump truck "Betty" was stolen! Those of you who know me know Betty is the backbone of my company Precision Landscaping Contracting & Hauling LLC. Along with my truck I had some equipment & tools in the cab. I started my company with my last $10 and always prided myself on doing good work at a good price. i sacrificed to build this company. I was homeless while building this company. There were nights I slept in my dump truck or slept in my shop next to my lawnmowers. Or when i had my daughter we would sleep on friends couches or in motels.I didn't complain about it nor did many people know of my situation. I had a plan and knew that i was going to bring it to fruition. I was just able to get my business to where I needed it to be to afford a place for me and my daughter to stay for my week with her. Me and her mother share 50/50 custody. I have changed my life all the way around and have just been a good person. i don't know why this happened to me. But it's a crushing blow. The landscaping season is getting slower & I've been trying to save money to be able to pay my bills through the winter. I just can not afford to buy another truck right now or I'll lose my place. And without my truck I can't work! I'm not a drug addict or a con man I'm a hard working single father trying to take care of his beautiful baby girl. Please help out in anyway that you can! I don't be asking for help, but I need it now!
