GoFundeMe created after SoCal man's life savings stolen in burglary

COMPTON, Calif. (FOX 11) - It takes a long time and a lot of hard work to save up $160,000. Unfortunately, a Compton man who saved chose not to put his money in the bank.

Instead, he kept it at home -- and now it's gone.

FOX 11's Gina Silva reports about a recent burglary at his home and what is being done to restore at least a part of it.
