Help Me Replace My Camera

Hi, I’m Isabella — photographer, creative, and the person behind Concept Meet and Clouds Studio in Lisbon.

Two weeks ago, something I never imagined happened: my main camera was stolen. But the worst part isn’t just the theft — it’s how it happened.

I trusted someone I considered a friend with my €3,000 equipment, and in an unbelievable series of bad decisions, she sent it in an Uber, unprotected, without even sharing the trip link until the driver had already vanished.

Ever since, I’ve done everything I could to track the driver, file police reports, and ask for accountability — but nothing moved.

And sadly, the person responsible for this never stepped up to fix it.

So, here I am — not because I love drama (trust me, I hate it), but because sometimes we need to ask for help when life hits harder than expected.

I’m raising funds to buy a new camera and get back on track with my work.

If you’ve ever enjoyed the community I built, participated in Concept Meet, used my studio, or simply want to support a creative who’s doing her best to keep going — every contribution, big or small, will make a difference.

If you can't donate, sharing this link already helps a lot.

Thank you for being here and for helping me turn this mess into something positive.

For transparency: This fundraiser is exclusively to replace the camera and lens that were stolen. I’m also keeping my studio open and covering all other costs personally.
