Paul Lost Everything in Fire: Let's Help
Donation protected
Our dear friend and coworker, Paul Schneider, lost all of his belongings, in a residential fire a few days ago. When I met Paul several years ago, he was living in a home in a neighborhood close to work. About two and a half years ago, Paul's landlord passed away, and Paul had to move. Paul spent every dime he had buying himself a beautiful 5th wheel RV, which he has been living in since.
In the evening, on Dec. 27, 2024, while home alone, Paul's space heater caught fire, quickly spreading to the door, trapping him inside the RV. Emergency responders were able to smash a window, and help Paul escape with his life just in time, as the entire 5th wheel was fully engulfed in flames in less than 5 minutes. He lost everything but his life. Not only his home and furniture, but every piece of clothing, shoes, wallet, phone, car keys, ID, everything... GONE.
Paul's work family at the San Luis Obispo Home Depot, is reaching out to the community asking for help. Paul is an extremely hard-working, and giving man, working circles around associates a third his age, and frequently gifting to others. We are asking our local community, and our Home Depot community, to please come together and help Paul in any way you are able. His number one need is lodging, so money for a hotel/housing is what is most needed.
He did NOT have insurance.
