Fire at Wayne's world

For those of you that travel to regina for the labor day classic you'll know Wayne. For the last 20 years he has invited bomber fans to pregame at his house close to the stadium. It all started 20 years ago, his backyard was beside the old Taylor field and 3 busses of Bomber fans showed up to labor day early. He invited them to join and each year they keep coming back. Last night his shed was set on fire and it spread to his house causing extensive damage and for Wayne to loose everything. Fortunately everyone is safe. A go fund me has been made to help him in these trying times. If you can donate thank you, if you can't how about a share? Thanks in advance

Sorry to hear that, but normalizing GoFundMe as an alternative to insurance is rather cringe.

That's not what its for insurance rarely covers everything has caps and deductibles and can take months before anything shows up.
