Donate to Otan stolen Music Equipment

For the past few months I've been quiet about what I was going through, I feel like it's something personal and I shouldn't involve the public about this matter, but it's been hard and it's taking over my mental health. A few months ago 4 of my guitars, multitrack recorders, sound equipment, equipment cases and cargo trailer have been stolen at my in laws house in Massachusetts. I went through the legal process to try and get my stuff back, but the authorities could only do so much, I am very grateful for their time and efforts to help me through the process but unfortunately it looks like my stuff will never be retrieved.

These things are not just regular stuff, I wish they were.. I wrote most of my early songs from one of the guitars that was stolen, that was one of my first guitars.. I also used it during one of my early tours, including the show at the Whisky A Go Go dedicated to the US Veterans. The multitrack recorder that was stolen has all of my new song ideas in it. The cases are for my gears and merchandise, and the cargo trailer I was planning to use for the upcoming shows. I haven't been able to work on new music because my mind has been occupied dealing with it, and I also wasn't able to sell any merchandise these past few shows because my stuff are all gone. This is my livelihood, this is how I feed my family and put a roof over their heads.

I'm not asking for a handout, but if somehow and in some way my music meant something to you, I would like to move on and rebuild from here, and go back to focusing on creating music and preforming..

You all have been my strongest foundation, you are all I got, and I am forever grateful to all of you.. 

I'm sorry I had to ask your help this way.. 

Thank you for your time,
