Gary Walker, my long-time friend, talented member of the BWMT family and one of the most genuine spirits you'll ever meet, recently made the brave decision to move across the country from San Francisco back to New York City to give his acting career a second chance. On January 30th (the day this photo was taken) he packed all his belongings into a car, said goodbye to California and headed east to start a new chapter.

The next morning he woke up to a shattered passenger side window and everything gone. Everything. Among the items stolen from him were:

5 suitcases full of clothes, shoes, socks, underwear, towels, bedding, scarves, hats, gloves

His passport, social security card, birth certificate

The trumpet he's been playing since middle school

A backpack with every electronic device he owned including his laptop

His headshots, his audition book, his journal

A box of irreplaceable momentos that carried a lifetime's worth of memories

Heart broken, but determined more than ever, Gary is still forging ahead. By donating to this campaign, you will help Gary get back on his feet that much sooner. New York is a hard enough place to start over. Let's make sure he gets the second chance he deserves.

Our financial goal reflects the amount needed to replace the most important things he will need right away. No donation is too small or too large so please help in any way you can. Let this be our way of saying "don't ever give up!"
