Let's replace Randy Stindt's stolen guitar!

Hello to everyone!

My name is Derek Marshall, and I have a somber story to tell:

Our beloved Randy Stindt, family to some (my cousin), friends to others, talented musician to all, is in a pickle!

If you haven't already heard the bad news, Randy's Martin-Acoustic-Guitar was stolen in mid-September. Unfortunately, this was more than just a guitar; it also had sentimental value to him. Sadly, certain things can never be replaced. Needless to say, Randy is devastated.

For those of you unfamiliar with guitars, Martin is among the very best, and most recognized as offering a superior acoustic product, and therefore, they are costly.

As you all know, Randy is a professional musician and playing music is how he pays his bills. The good news is that Randy was fortunate enough to borrow a guitar from a fellow musician, but this is temporary.

The value of Randy's guitar was around $1000. However, the thief didn't just take off with the guitar, they also burgled off with the case, including other equipment inside the case: For this reason, I am calling on all of Randy's supporters to help raise funds to lend financial aid in helping him purchase a comparable replacement guitar.

Sure, this new guitar will not possess the sentimental value that his previous guitar imbued but given that his fans and supporters rallied together to provide a new replacement, that will bind a whole new form of love and sentiment to the instrument.

I know many of Randy's family and friends, but I don't know everyone. I need all of you to help spread the word! My hope is for this fundraiser to populate amongst Randy's supporters, just like an old-fashion chain-letter.

Randy is NOT a huge fan of receiving charity in his name. That is why I am not posting this rally-of-support in a public forum. I also know Randy well enough to know that once the funds have been raised, he will humbly accept our assistance.

Let's keep this off Randy's radar; just like a surprise birthday party, 'mum-is-the-word!' Please keep the GoFundMe web link OFF of public forums or any other public social media.

I'm optimistic with everyone's assistance, we can achieve this goal!

Special thanks and shout out to Brittany Schenk, for rallying folks to the cause on this GoFundMe effort!
