Help my brother, Dillon, replace his stolen camera equipment

Hello everyone,

My name is Damon Nockideneh, and I'm reaching out to you today with a humble and heartfelt request. I’ve started this fundraiser on behalf of my brother, Dillon Nockideneh — someone who has dedicated so much of himself to his craft, his clients, and his community.

Last week, while working an event in Houston, Texas, Dillon had over $5,500 worth of camera equipment stolen. For anyone who knows Dillon, you know how much love and hard work he pours into his creative work. His gear isn’t just a collection of expensive tools — it’s his livelihood, his artistic voice, and the result of years of dedication and sacrifice.

Since the theft, Dillon has gone to great lengths to recover what was lost. He’s filed reports, kept in contact with the venue, retraced his steps, and followed every possible lead. Unfortunately, despite his tireless efforts, the equipment remains missing.

This is where I'm hoping our friends, family, and extended community can come in. We're asking for support to help Dillon replace the stolen gear so he can get back to doing what he does best — telling stories through his lens and capturing moments that matter.

Any amount you’re able to give would be deeply appreciated. And even if you can’t donate, simply sharing this campaign with others would mean the world to us.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Your support — in whatever form — helps remind us that even in frustrating and difficult moments, community can be a powerful source of light.

With gratitude,

Damon Nockideneh
