Recover from robbery
Donation protected
I got robbed on June 23rd, 2023, and lost my violin, guitar, and many electronic instruments. I was transporting the instruments in preparation for a performance and they were all taken from the trunk of my car.
I'm a professional musician and will need to replace the violin as soon as possible. The other instruments- guitar, synthesizers, portable recorder, soundboard, microphones, cables, and effects pedals- all these will also need to be replaced but I'm under less of a time crunch to do that.
I'm asking for help from my community to recover from this loss. Honestly, I don't want a new violin, I want my violin back! I'm doing everything I can to locate my instrument even if it is becoming clear that this might never happen. I'm also discovering through this process that some of my instruments have appreciated in value since I purchased them, so replacing them is also more expensive. But I am a patient person. I'm giving this fundraiser one year because I intend to continue looking for my instrument while gradually rebuilding the tools that I lost.
