Southeast Brokerage Cars for a Cure
Donation protected
My name is Richard Vimmerstedt, and I am the owner of a small car company called Southeast Brokerage in Winter Park, Florida. We specialize in the servicing and restoration of classic cars. Our most recent restoration project supports a wonderful man named Bian McCrary, who was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) four years ago.
Brian’s dream has always been to own and drive his family around in a 1956 Chevy Bel Air. Five years ago, before his diagnosis, he purchased said car and took it to two separate body shops. He spent a total of $50,000 between the two mechanics, who did nothing to restore it and instead stripped the car down and kept or sold all the parts. As it stands right now, the car is nothing more than an empty shell. Brian's wish is to have the 56’ Bel Air fully restored so he can live out his lifelong dream of driving his family around in this exquisite vehicle at least once. Sadly, the family’s astronomical medical expenses have rendered them incapable of affording any further work or restoration that needs to be done in order to fulfill Brian’s wish.
Due to these unfortunate circumstances, I have decided that my non-profit organization Cars for Cure will take on the restoration for this very special vehicle. Because it means so much to Brian, I’m going to restore his Bel Air out of pocket no matter the cost. However, because I am a small business, I will need to raise the $60,000 necessary to do the job. We have set up this GoFundMe account to try and raise money to make Brian's wish come true. Anything you could do to help would be so greatly appreciated by all involved.
I know Brian would be so touched by anyone who can come to his aid and helped make his dream come true.
Again, anything you can do to help our cause and spread the word so we can raise money would mean the world to all of us.
