On Monday morning someone broke my bedroom window, entered my home and ransacked my place. This is the second time this month that someone came in, in broad daylight.
They smashed a double pained window to get in! They stole money and electronics, but beyond that they have robbed us of our peace of mind.
I am already a hermit as it is, but now I’m really scared to leave my house, cuz I was gone for less than 3 hrs both times. This time my things were not the only option cuz Olivia had her laptop here as well.
The music that We make is our livelihood. We now have no means of recording since both of our laptops were stolen.
I find myself feeling so heartbroken over the state of our city. The idea that my home of 17 years is no longer safe makes me wonder. What is gentrification doing in my hood? I wasn’t afraid when I would walk out of my place and find 5 young men shooting dice in my carport. Everyone knows me around here. I even knew most of the homeless people in the neighborhood. My mom and I have always given what we could to the folks who were around, But now there’s a full on tent city up the block. I can’t say these people are to blame. I honestly believe someone is watching me.
It seems to me like there’s no code anymore. Like, because so many new people have moved into my hood, someone imagined they were breaking into some rich persons home. And when they came in and saw that that wasn’t the case, they took whatever they could and ran.
My desire to become more vulnerable has put me at your feet with this plea. If u have any leads on stolen goods. Or any extra funds that you might be willing to donate towards the replacement of our computers, please donate here... I have gotten security cameras and will soon have bars installed on my windows, along with renters insurance.
I am praying that this never happens again. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. I am especially praying for peace in my heart and mind. I don’t want to live in fear. I don’t want to have this malice in my heart.
I am so sorry for all the people suffering in these streets. It could be any of us in the current climate. Suggestions are also welcome for organizations that are working to combat this housing crisis. I am overcome with a desire to give more of myself in the face of this loss.
