New Laptop for Markdavin
Donation protected
Our friend, mentor, leader, partner, and colleague, Markdavin Obenza has been there for all of us over the years. He's been my best friend for a long time. A little over a month ago, he lost nearly $5k of uninsured personal items, including a nearly brand new apple laptop. A laptop he'd wanted for a long time, but couldn't justify buying until he had an uncommonly busy recording season last fall.
There are many reasons I have for wanting to help him recoup just a little bit of what he lost in that theft, but I'm not going to get into those. He's done so much for all of us, I figured now might be a great opportunity to give back! I would like to replace the Macbook Pro (Retina Display) model he lost. It costs $1,299 from the Apple Store and with tax should be roughly $1415 (maybe less with my Amazon discount). I'm hoping by putting $1500 up here, we can get close enough to make this happen!
Please don't feel pressured or obligated to contribute! Everyone's financial situation is a little different and I completely respect that.
Once we get enough money to make it happen, we'll get the new laptop and a card with all the contributors names in it, so he knows we got his back!
I'm guessing this will be tough to keep secret, but I've excluded him from seeing this post on FB, so please don't let him know what we're up to!
