Camera Gear for @MakingItPatti

Hello!  My name is Patti Tanewasha I'm a member of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs.  I'm a Photographer. I am @MakingItPatti. 

I had traveled to Canada recently and my camera bag was taken from me. Inside was several lenses, 3 memory cards,  and keys to my vehicle.  It had put me in an unfortunate situation. Thanks to the hospitality of friends,  and Pow-wow family I had returned home safely; however I had only one memory card left to my name.  Luckily it had some data for me to work with. 

I'm also a student pursuing her education in Secondary Science Education.  I had worked hard to purchase the camera of my dreams to help capture the beauty in Indian Country.  Also I have worked with Ndn Sports, Native News online, and recently with Powwows.com .  The cost of equipment is a pretty penny at the budget of a student; however photography is my passion, and I live to share it with my people .


I'm wanting to ask if you could help me raise money to make a purchase a DSLR, Lenses, and a camera bag to carry my equipment. This is a minor set back but I'm a champ. I appreciate you for your time,  and donation.


I have worked really hard to make it this far in my photography career not to quit only to make it. The name "Making It Patti" is about living my dream, and making the best of any situation.  Again I thank you for your time and donation.
