Help Paulette replace stolen music equipment!

Hi Fam,

If you know me well, you know I rarely ask for help, but this week a situation definitely caught me off guard.

After packing up after a gig, someone stole about $850 worth of equipment out of my car (in addition to stealing 15 copies of my new album). Other items were also taken, but I'm more concerned about my music equipment/supplies. They took the items listed below that I need on a regular basis to provide live music on a weekly basis, and you know I love performing for the community. I hope to not pause activities, but I need to replace these items as soon as possible. This truly caught me off guard, and I'm not financially in a position to purchase new equipment this week, but I have no choice to. I've already invested over several thousand in music items this year - from releasing my new solo album, to purchasing a 'much-needed' new amp/guitar and more. And as you know, leading a band, comes with another level of out-of-pocket expenses.

Any help is truly appreciated! Music is my world, and I hope to continue doing what I love and in a community that I care about.

Know that I'm ok. I'm just frustrated and mad that this happened. I'm aware that many folks know me and are aware of my routines and need to travel with equipment, and different precautions will be taken moving forward when I have my gigs. I'm grateful, because it could have been a lot of worse, but this person was on foot and took as much as they could walk with. They trashed my car in the process, but nothing that couldn't be cleaned up.

Thanks for supporting local artists/musicians! Thank you!
