<div>Aviation spotting is more than just a hobby for me; it’s a passion I’ve spent years building and sharing with a community of incredible enthusiasts.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>However, last Saturday (17/01/2026) after my livestream, that journey came to a sudden and heartbreaking halt… While I was having lunch far away from the spot (Telheiras!) with fellow spotters visiting from Madeira, my car was broken into. In a matter of minutes, years of investment and hard work were gone.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The thieves took everything I use to keep the channel running, including:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>• 2x cameras used for high-quality spotting; 
</div>

<div>• My laptop (essential for editing videos and managing our live streams) 1200€;

</div>

<div>• A mobile router for field connectivity 250€;

</div>

<div>• 2x External monitors — (950 total) including a brand-new one I had just received through my "Buy Me a Coffee" wishlist and was testing for the very first time...
</div>

<div>• Powerstation (external battery to run my stream) 
</div>

<div>• Powerbank Xiaomi 
</div>

<div>• 2x Microphones for the livestreams
</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Of all the investment I have made since starting my channel, only my tripods remain.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>To make matters worse, my friends from Madeira were also victims of this theft, losing their gear while visiting our city.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Why I need your help:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Currently, I have no way to create, edit, or share any new content. The loss is total…

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Anyone who knows the cost of camera gear and specialized streaming equipment knows that replacing everything at once is financially impossible for me alone.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>How the funds will be used:

</div>

<div>The goal of this fundraiser is to replace the essential gear needed to get the channel back online:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>1. A dedicated editing/streaming laptop.

</div>

<div>2. Primary and secondary cameras for spotting.

</div>

<div>3. Connectivity tools (router) and monitor.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every donation, no matter how small, is a step toward getting back to the airport fence and bringing the roar of the engines back to your screens. If you cannot donate, sharing this link with the aviation community would mean the world to me.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I am devastated, but I am not ready to give up on this channel. Thank you for your support, your messages of kindness, and for standing by me during this difficult time.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>All the Best &amp; Thank you for your kindness support!
