Damn seems like a lot of crazy s*** happens in Cali I didn't move out there…
Democrat voters enjoying each other's company.
D.A.C.A. = DEPORT ALIENS CANCEL AMNESTY
What about the other guy who had his refrigerated van destroyed?
That lunatic of a driver so happens to be a homie of mine & u guys don't know what other people go thru to get to tht point. I feel for tht family but if ur a criminal then u understand what I'm saying .
Beautiful 🙏🏽
God bless America.
God bless america
Where s the link
God forbid people see pitbulls as big softies. No, they are all dangerous.
I fall in Love with Gina Silva. I hope we can have a GOFUND for Gina and my self. I'm 100% everyone will help me to our marriage lol. She's a beautiful lady. Congratulations Benitez family. Keep working hard. I didn't donate anything because I don't have work or money but. It's cool. Go Ginaaaaa I'm poor but from bottom of my heart ❤️ I'm happy
How did he get the keys to the truck?
What about the guy and his van? Haha did he get zero
Great for him and his family, great to see community coming together to help
So did they get the original truck back?
The criminal is probably already out on bail.
Wtf is in the water you all going bananas out there like everybody's on bath salts or something
Hope insurance covers that truck , And I hope he will buy a new and better one with that money ! Community truly can turn out in tough times for others ..
RALLY TO CLOSE AMERICA'S 🇺🇸 BORDERS
They were forced to. We all experience that from time to time. Now was this a black on brown or brown on brown crime?
Bless his heart, he was so thankful. I'm so happy for this family they deserve every penny.
That is wonderful to see they will get some money.
Only in America would this graciousness happen OVERNIGHT to resolve this family's situation. Thank you to the California people and everyone who donated. It makes me emotional, it really does. Thank you so much….
Too much money for a down payment lol yall capping
If you let the Leah Lipps phenotype suck you up you will become aware or if you let your bitch suck you up like the Leah Lipps phenotype you will become aware
That's all good and well, but what about the innocent guy who the police slammed down on pavement when they wrecked out the stolen truck?
It's California, he's screwed. They may charge him for attpted murder. They came in to take his keys. Not his life. You can't go after someone with a deadly weapon if they are not threatening your life. I think he most likely had enough to kill the guy, but in CA your screwed. Move to a trump state and you have way more self protection rights.
Where's the link??
Did the other work truck/van guy also make a gofundme? He was devastated as well….
It’s good that they got the money to replace the truck but there isn’t one chance in hell that truck was more then 35k including all the equipment keep in mind the MSRP of a brand new no extra packages Chevy truck is around $40,000 and that truck is not by any means a brand new truck. Trucks depreciate in value same as cars it’s not rocket science I don’t know what the moneys at now but last night I saw it around 90,000 which means this family who I am glad got to replace their truck nonetheless stole about 50k from all the mindless people out there if it was a genuine go fund me they should’ve capped it at about 50,000 so they could get a brand new truck if they wanted to or something equal to what they already had and replace all their equipment they couldn’t get back in my eyes that’s reasonable, collecting 90K and running to the bank with it is crazy I’m happy for the victims being able to replace their belongings so don’t get in a tizzy over my comment i’m literally using common sense and all I ask if you dont agree go look up some prices cuz I already did I’m not talking out my ass and I’m not trying to debate the matter only expressing my own opinion (not yours mine), I have worked for landscaping company’s in the past I understand what the equipment cost and if you’re wondering what this did to their business they just got $90,000 it did nothing to their business very little impact will come from it considering they can have that truck replaced within the day and most of the equipment was returned
It's great that there are sites like GoFundMe and other sites where people can easily help for a cause. It just happened in my family, because my brother was hospitalized due to an unexpected respiratory illness and the medical bills were huge, and many many friends and relatives donated around 70% of the bill (the bill was around $45,000 dlls. We live in Mexico and most people who donated too, and here, the minimun wage is around $9 dlls a day, so, it's amazing that people helped us so much. If it wasn't for these platforms and social networks, etc, the mobile apps that are available, obviously the generosity of people is the main thing, this way the community helps in these situations wouldn't be possible. And of course you feel really thankful.
These days a new truck costs 80 grand.
Is it too late to donate on gofundme? 😢 I would love to donate too!
It’s so nice to know there are still some good folks in SoCal 👏👏👏 Yay! and also to hear there was a happy ending to that horrendous incident.
thank you for sharing 🙏🫶
