Replace equipment stolen

Hi, my name is Jackson. I am a good hearted person, a hard worker and have lived in the Bay Area since 2018.

I am a musician, and musical gigs are my second job. I am passionate about music and use it as a way to spread Brazilian culture outside of Brazil and keep it alive to all expats. I feel very fortunate to live in a great country that receives and accepts different kinds of people. I see how music can make a difference in our lives, it adds colors, flavors, helps improve people's mood, connect with hope, connect with people... people definitely feel better when they have an opportunity to listen to live music and dance!

I have been buying my music equipment and have invested more than $7,000. Unfortunately, on July 11 2023 someone broke into my car through the windows and stole EVERYTHING inside of my car, including my music equipment! I had a gig in Napa the night before this incident, finished late, dropped off my friends at their homes and by the time I made it home, I was too exhausted to unload the car, so I left everything inside.

I know life has been difficult for a lot of people and I have been doing what I can to help. If you can, please help me buy my equipment so I can continue doing what I love which is using music to spread hope, connect people, build community, and bring happiness to people who are suffering.

With my gratitude,

Jackson.
