Bob Got Mugged and Needs to Replace His Stuff!
Donation protected
Hey, it's Bob Mackey! I do podcasts like Retronauts, Talking Simpsons, and What A Cartoon!, and I would like to keep doing them. The main issue is I got mugged at gunpoint on the way back from an international trip on Black Friday, and basically lost everything: phone, wallet, and a bookbag and suitcase full of stuff I need to keep doing my job. That includes pricey items like a MacBook and a Nintendo Switch, and less pricey but still annoying to replace stuff like IDs, credit cards and my passport. I also lost more sentimental things like gifts and personalized items, but right now I'm focusing on what I actually can replace.
All told, what needs to be replaced amounts to around a month's wages for me, which is a lot to take on at once, especially during the holidays and also at a time when a change in my living situation will make my rent drastically increase (in one of the most expensive cities in the USA). I also need to delay some projects I've been working on in order to do all the stuff you need to do when your most important things are stolen, which could affect my business as well. If I could replace everything quickly in one fell swoop, I can get all of my work back on track, and this horrible event will basically amount to a small speed bump in my life.
If you like what I do (even if you don't), any small amount you can give would be appreciated. I could handle having a few things stolen, but basically having close to $4000 worth of things taken from me in 15 seconds has left me in need of a little help. Thanks so much for your time and generosity!
