Stolen Camera Gear Replacement Fund

I'm a college student who is working part-time as cameraman for a department at the University of Michigan. On the side, I do freelance photography and videography in order to make just enough to pay for living expenses. With that being said, my camera gear is how I make a living.

Recently, I returned home for the funeral of a close friend. While spending time with friends and family over the weekend, my camera bag was stolen from my car -- including two cameras, four lenses, two batteries, three SD cards (with three clients' photos and videos on it who I will now have to refund), an external microphone, and more. 

I have multiple shoots that were planned for this upcoming holiday season, and I really am hoping that I will not have to cancel those due to no longer having equipment. That's why I'm starting this GoFundMe. Without this camera equipment, I will no longer have a sustainable source of income at the worst timing possible. Not only am I preparing to graduate in December, but I also had hopes of moving to pursue my passions some time after graduation.

Please do what you can, if you can, to help me afford to replace my stolen equipment. 

Thank you and best regards,
Drew Metcalf
