Fire Dancer Equipment Recovery

After years of balancing a day job with living my dream, I decided to take the plunge and dedicate my life to dance, music, and performance. I put my notice in and secured a part time teaching position at a local ballroom so that I could pursue teaching and performing full time. It was going to be tight for a while, until I had my momentum built up.

Then, two days before my birthday, my car was stolen from in front of my house. Not only is it my transportation to shows, practices, and teaching lessons, it had all of my fire performance and safety gear-- thousands of dollars worth, as well as several costumes. My car was taken early Saturday morning; I had left everything inside after returning home from a gig and had another show the next night.

Among the gear that I had lost:
Custom Fire performance Props- everything needed to put on a full and safe show.
Safety Kit, Hardware and Tools
Several custom Bellydance and fire Costumes, shoes, etc

The car itself! Not pretty to look at but it got me around locally. I'd like to purchase something reliable that would allow me to travel safely to gigs and tow all my gear.

I'm setting a goal for $5000 for the car and fire gear. I am also open to accepting used equipment from the fire/circus community.

Thank you for your time and generosity! If anyone knows about any charity events coming up that I can perform at, I'd love to pay back to my community!
