19 Help Save Left of the Dial Records $730 of $3,500 goal Raised by 19 people in 7 hours Donate Now Share on Facebook Geoff Leamon SANTA ANA, CA In 2010 I finally realized my life's dream and opened up my own record store. For the past 3 1/2 years, Left of the Dial Records has been in downtown Santa Ana. Not long after moving to Santa Ana, my immune system went haywire and I developed quite a few serious autoimmune diseases. I am the owner and only employee. Friends and family have helped out when I was too sick to come in. I weathered through the best I could but medical bills have been a huge burden. Similar to living paycheck to paycheck, owning a small business can even be scarier because sometimes there's not even a paycheck at all when things get rough. All was heading in a positive direction until recently. A few weeks ago, I was in an accident coming home from work. I ended up in the ER and had to close the shop for a few days. I am now dealing with shady insurance adjusters and have not been paid one dime. I was rearended on the freeway while completely stopped. My car was totaled and have had to get a rental car that is costing me $250 a week. I have consulted a lawyer and hopefully this will eventally get resolved but I have used all my savings dealing with this nightmare. The medical bills are piling up and I am going on two months of not being able to pay the rent at the shop. I have amazing, understanding landlords but I can't keep doing this to them. Believe me, this is not easy to ask for. There are people that are far worse off than I am and I am fortunate and thankful for what I have in my life. I am blessed with an amazing family and friends. I have worked really hard to turn this shop into something that I am extremely proud of. I have some of the most loyal and amazing customers in the world! If you can donate anything, it would help tremendously! I can't begin to express how thankful and grateful I am!!! I don't have a ton to offer as thank you gifts but if you can donate $50 or more, we have shop T-Shirts we can give as a thank you. I am working on other things and will update if things change.
