Camera Fund - feed my passion

My car was broken into the night of October 27th. (Idiot move on my part, car was unlocked, and after 5 years of owning my camera, I became careless in this "safe" neighborhood (lesson badly learned).

When it comes to photography, I've never given myself enough credit. people would ask me to do a photoshoot with them, and even if they offer to pay, I'd hesitate and a lot of times say no feeling my photos wouldn't be worth it. Most the shoots I do, I've done for free, mainly just to make the people happy. I love creating art, and photography is one of my favorite kinds of art.

They stole my camera bag (not even a month old gift from my mother), along with my camera (memory cards, uv filter, lens hood in bag), id, debit card, and a few other cards I had in my bag.

My professional EOS Canon 60D camera is gone. I have taken tens of thousands of photos with that camera, It's been with me to Europe and to different locations around the unites states from California to Florida. It's taken photos of my dogs puppies, and my horse photos, not to mention photos of countless friends.

I filed a police report. I've taken some flyers to some of the pawn shops in the area. No luck finding my camera.

I'm trying to raise money so I can eventually buy another professional system, and actually take myself more seriously as a photographer. I'd like another decent camera body, and a bonus if I can eventually afford some decent lenses and flashes to go with it. I already have a paypal set-up, so I'd rather use that.

I ask if I have ever taken pictures of you, your friends, animals, or whatever, I ask you for help, as I probably didn't charge you for the photos. If you're in a hard time right now, I ask that you don't give anything more than a share. I'd appreciate that just as much. and On top of it all, I ask that you really don't give much. I hate the idea of asking for anything in the first place.

Thank you all for help! <3
