Created by Paul Sebala on February 14, 2013
On Monday, January 28th, 2013 the Pipeline 2 Paradise Radio studio along with our home was robbed.
Almost our entire place was turned upside down. Several TVs were taken, my son’s game system and games, my wife’s jewelry box that contained many family heirlooms and priceless jewelry, my wedding ring, 2 HD cameras reserved for my TV project, my wife’s brand new laptop that I just got her for Christmas, her iPhone, CDs, headphones, and ALL 3 expensive studio microphones along with it's special accessories were all stolen.
I THANK JESUS that no one was home at the time and that my wife and son didn’t walk in on the burglars.
Extremely violated, furious, sad, scared, confused, thankful, pissed the f*#% off are just some of the feelings we felt and some emotions still feel.
We thank the Lord that we are all safe! Everything stolen is material and I have faith the Lord will provide and heal. Many messages of support and love have poured in through email, social networks, and in person since then. I'm truly humbled and grateful for everyone taking time out to bless and comfort us with your uplifting words and prayers.
One of my friends in Facebook wrote this:
"I know often it's hard to ask for help... but when it's offered via financial, support, comfort, etc., don't block your blessings by saying no or not accepting it. When we say no or don't accept, we're blocking our blessings."
I realized after reading this that this is exactly what I've been doing. Since the home invasion I've been praying to the Lord for answers, guidance, strength, and help financially. All along hundreds of you have been offering it to me and my family and I was letting my pride block the blessings.
So with a very humble heart I've created another donation page to be blessed by your generosity. I welcome all financial support to help rebuild Pipeline 2 Paradise Radio, purchase new studio mics, accessories, equipment, pay up past license debt, and launch a new broadcast wave of aloha when the pieces are in place. Currently we are off-air.
I promise to continue to support the Hawaiian and Island music community worldwide as we've always done and make all of your proud by supporting a righteous venture. God bless you all and mahalo in advance for your kokua.
