recopying from mammothben on facebook:
Friends, one of our fellow shave artisans has experienced a terrible tragedy. Derek Wheeler of Wild West Brushworks watched his house burn down. While he, his wife, two kids, and pets are safe, they have lost everything to fire and smoke damage and are in need of support while they try and figure out the best way forward.
I have spoken to Derek and he said that he has gotten a ton of messages of support and outreach, and is very grateful. He is not able to respond to messages right now as he and his family are reeling from these heavy losses.
Let's be as generous as possible to support Derek and his family in this difficult time. Click this gofundme link to support the Wheelers.
To encourage donations, we are organizing a raffle. Every dollar you donate will gain you one entry. Make a donation and I'll then add your spots to the raffle spreadsheet, viewable to all at bit.ly/WheelerRaffleSpots. UPDATE: No longer necessary to comment a screenshot of your donation below as I can view donations in GoFundMe.
It's wonderful to see so many artisans and wet shavers pledge prizes to help donations for this family. If you'd like to contribute a prize, please send me a pm.
We will keep this post updated with any prizes that are pledged, and announce a raffle drawing date soon. Likely we will draw the winner(s) on or after January 1st. NOTE: Not all prizes will be able to ship outside of CONUS.
Please share this post far and wide, everywhere you can. Your personal pages, in your groups, everywhere. Thank you sincerely.
