Old School Paint Shop - Structural Fire
Donation protected
I am asking for donations from family, friends, and the community to help relieve some financial stress on my parents-in-law while they are going through a devastating loss at this time.
On Christmas eve, they lost their business Old School Paint Shop and Sandblasting, to a structural fire.
They lost their small family run business, that they have worked so hard for over the last three years.
They also lost their main source of income, as well as a lot of their own personal belongings which some held great sentimental value.
That shop was their second home. They have another home off grid that, during the winter months, their pipes freeze and they have no water. Most of their clothing was at that shop since that is where laundry got done. Their 10 year old daughter would also get off the bus at her parents shop… therefore most of her school supplies were lost in the fire.
Scott would stay over at night at the shop often because he wanted to ensure that vehicles were done with high quality and on time.
They are the type of people to make anyone feel like family. Scott and Adrienne are two of the most hard working, dedicated, resilient people that I know.
It is devastating to see everything they have worked so hard for, be lost so quickly on Christmas Eve.
Thankfully, every one is safe and okay… but with it being the holidays, no insurance claim can be made yet. The next few months may be difficult for them until they get back on their feet.
Thank you for your support!
