Hi! My name is Cameron Gurner and as many of you know, my family recently lost our home to a garage fire on the Fourth of July. The house was completely burned and destroyed and every room of the house is unrecognizable. Seeing my family split apart and displaced is devistating. Watching everything I've ever known burn to pieces while I can only sit there and watch is a feeling I wouldn't wish upon anyone. Laying my childhood cat to rest who was my best friend was indescribable, all of my families hard work and years of memories disappear. My family isn't asking for any money to help rebuild; however, I lost my car and all of my business supplies from the fire. My business (Simplicity Mobile Detailing) had started 3 years since this incident with my father, he gave me the business idea aswell as helped me with countless details. Half of my motivation for the sucess of the business is because of my father. I've grown and developed my business with reroccuring clients while learning some of the best life lessons along the way. I have expanded my social skills and learned how a business works. This summer I was coming up on breaking records for myself being booked out 5 days a week, I've put my blood, sweat, and tears into this business and I take pride in what I have built. I credit my hard work ethic and determination to my father, the tragic loss of my items has put me at a setback with no view of hope. I will get my business back up on its feet but with limited money and losing a vehicle I am put at a disadvantage. Time is valuable because I am off to San Diego State University in the middle of August. This business means a lot to me and had taught me so much and I would hate for this to be the end of it but I am motivated!!! On the other hand is my hobby which is my vehicle. I saved up for months to buy a 2008 BMW 335i last summer. Ever since I have put every hour away from my business into making this the car of my dreams. The project from an entire interior restoration, to learning how to wrap in my garage, to tearing the engine apart and putting it back togther. This car has taught me to think outside the box and resource to people and companies I am completely unfamilar with. This project put me outside of my comfort zone over and over again. It has changed how I view my issues and taught me to always look for a solution and find creativity within dead ends. This project is my love and joy and anyone who knows me can confirm that this vehicle had completly taken me over. As much as I really value the personal lessons this car has taught me, I cannot set aside the amount of appreciation I have for the people this hunk of metal has brought me into contact with. I entered a community of people with shared intrests who some I have never met and all I have ever been shown is kindness. I've met some of the most import people to me through this community. It surprised me how many people are really there for you when you need it. The amount of support I have been showed and the amount of help I have been offered is overwhelming. I appreciate the kind words and reassurance more than anything. I'm not asking to reach this goal because I work hard and I can build myself back up, but some of the basics to get my business situated to where I can come back to someones door step and offer them the best service is where im trying to get to. I take a gamble putting as much time and money into something like a car so I do not expect to make that money back either way. Anything is appreciated and anything over my goal will be invested back towards my parents in any way shape or form that I can help with. Thank you.
