A quick summary of us: My name is Jesse Collins, and I live with my girlfriend Ashley Parsley. We recently moved from Florida to Rockmart, GA and have been trying to establish ourselves to make it out on our own. So, for the past few months, we had been using my In-law's extra storage unit (that apparently had not been under insurance, from what I've been told) in a little off-the-road facility.

Ok, so a few days ago, we went to our storage unit to find our the lock had been changed. After getting the management involved, we come to find out nearly 80% of our worldly possessions had been stolen from there.

This included a very large gaming collection, a very large book collection, and several geeky artifacts from the past 20 years, among other items. Ashley's candle collection, a very large tea collection, childhood and spiritual possessions; all gone. Our shelving was demolished, a bunch of our furniture was rendered unusable. They even took almost every dish we had. We are devastated.

We are working on Police Reports, and came up with a total, between the two of us:

Gaming Collection Total Cost: Over $5000.00
This includes nearly 1700.00 worth of Collector's Editions, $420.00 in consoles, and the rest is low-balling the prices of the rest of the games. Keep in mind, this was a slow collection over the past 20 years of my life, on a "poor man's budget".

Book Collection Total Cost: Over $2500.00
These prices are low-balling the total cost, based on the fact that these were mostly hardbacks.


I'm not really even expecting much of anything, to be honest. We'd just like to get our collections back up to some sort of stance, and be able to afford to get furniture when the time comes. This has been a heartbreaking venture, and we ask of you for help.


Thank you so much for even just hearing out our story,

Jesse Collins and Ashley Parsley
