Austin Meade StLouis Theft Recovery

It's hard to come across someone as hard-working and dedicated as my good buddy Austin Meade. He graduated from Texas A&M several years ago, but rather than taking a typical job out of college, he decided to chase his dreams. For over 3 years now he's been writing and playing the music he loves to share with other folks around Texas and across the U.S.A. for next to nothing.  It's definitely not glorified when you're just trying to make it by and eating gas station suppers, but he has a passion for his music and inspiring others through it. 

Unfortunaly this last week, Austin Meade and his band had their van broken into while grabbing a quick bite in St. Louis, Missouri on a small road gig with Cody Canada and the Departed. In less than 5 minutes, they had thousands of dollars stolen from inside the van, along with laptops containing their music and future plans, and even all of his own songs written on paper.

Let's help this hard-working man and his bandmates get back on their feet so they can continue chasing their dreams and living for what they love. We're trying to help Austin reach a goal of $5000 to recooperate from his losses and get back on his feet - any remaining funds will be donated towards improving the St. Louis community. The band is still deciding on a specific drug rehab program or another entity in the St. Louis area to partner with. 

This would mean so much to Austin Meade and his bandmates. Coming from a small town, they're just trying to make a living doing what they love - and taking that away from them just isn't right. Let's help pick these fellas back up and let their music live on!
