Please help replace my stolen tools

Jack Caywood is organizing this fundraiser.

I am Jack Caywood, the owner of JW Contracting & Management. Over the New Year’s holiday, my work trailer, containing nearly every tool I owned, was stolen from my job site. Fortunately, the trailer is insured. However, my tools are not covered by insurance, and the theft threatens my livelihood.

The photo above shows about half of the tools that were stolen. The replacement value of everything taken – from my hammer, nails and nail bags to my air compressor, to an industry leading compound miter saw – is north of $20,000.

I have never been in a situation like this before, and I feel very out of place asking for assistance. That said, I would sincerely appreciate anything that this community could contribute to help me get back to work, operate my business and rebuild over time.
