We need help with spreading the news about a robbery at our nonprofit organization. Someone jumped our fence at our Habitat Homes (located at 141 and 129 30th Street), broke our lock off the trailer, stole over $5000 worth of tools used for our Habitat Homes. We found this out just yesterday. We would like to get the word out about this terrible cause, hurting our nonprofit and our Habitat Homes that are to be built from these tools. Our Habitat Homes are for a retired veteran and a single mother with two children. Both the retired veteran and the single mother are WSU students. Due to no tools, we have had to delay our construction, which delays these families from having a safe and warm home for the winter.
We also have our gofundme account at gofundme.com/habitat-tools so that we may buy and replace the tools.
