<div>In an instant, everything I use to create and make a living was gone.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’m <strong>Skylar Matas</strong>, a traveling photographer from <strong>New Braunfels, TX</strong>. On <strong>November 7th</strong>, over <strong>$6,500</strong> in camera gear, along with my hard drive containing years of work was stolen. <strong>Images and stories I’ll never get back.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Photography is my <strong>life, passion, and livelihood.</strong> What drives me is <strong>storytelling: capturing real moments and turning them into lasting memories.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This loss has <strong>paused my ability to work</strong> and do what I love most. I created this GoFundMe to help <strong>replace what was taken, rebuild, and get back behind the camera.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every contribution or even a share, truly makes a difference. I’m deeply grateful for your <strong>kindness, generosity, and support</strong> during this time.
