A Camera for Ryan

Good day, all! My name is Annie, and to put it very bluntly, I am trying to get my husband his dream camera: the Sony a7R V Mirrorless Camera (with 24-70mm f/2.8 II Lens), and I can’t do it without help =)

For those of you who know Ryan, he is an extremely hardworking and giving person. While I can think of a handful of other projects and causes that are more noble, worthy, and urgent of your time and funds, a new camera has been a wish of his for quite some time. Much of the photography work he does is free of charge. Not to mention all the other favors and help he gives without asking for anything in return.

Like all of you, our work paychecks go straight to the bills, household essentials, and chipping away at debt. Throw in those lovely emergencies that come around right when you don’t need them as well as the high cost of living in Hawaii, and we are right as rain.

His side business (the Photobooth) turns a small profit but does not generate enough for steady income, so he saves most of it to put back into the business. It is also his priority that his Photobooth remains one of the most affordable on Oahu while maintaining the great quality of a high end booth.

I know this isn’t an easy time for anyone, and it’s not exactly easy for me to ask this either, but again, I know I can’t do this alone. Whatever you can give will be fantastic. The big goal is $6500 with accessories. The small goal is $3000 to cover at least half the costs.

Ryan is in fact turning 40 (in August) this year, and I know the words ecstatic and elated would not even begin to describe how he would feel if he got this as a birthday gift. If he has ever helped you out or lifted you up, I hope you’ll consider returning the love. Any amount helps, and every bit means the world.

I also updated the photos with the bundles and a list of highlights. If we get closer to the goal, I'll detail exactly what we'll be getting for him.

Thank you for your time, generosity, and support!
