Equipment stolen. Need help getting back to work.

Dear friends,

My name is Nicolas Naum, but everybody knows me as Niki or @nikinaum on Instagram, I'm a nature photographer and videographer.

I've spent years exploring the world capturing its beauty through my lens and believe that nature has the power to heal and inspire us, I've made it my life's work to share that beauty with others.

But a few days ago, three guys followed me from the place I was working and all of my camera gear was stolen. For that reason, I'm currently unable to work.

I'm devastated since they also stole my hard drives with all the photos and videos of the last 2 years.

I know it sounds cliché, but nature is more than just a hobby or a passion for me. I believe that it's my opportunity to help people appreciate the world and understand the importance of protecting it. Through my photography and videography, I've been able to share the magic of nature with people all over the world, and I've seen firsthand how it can change people's lives.

I'm reaching out to you all today to ask for your help in getting back to work. They stole more than $13000 of equipment but I'm hoping to raise $7000 so that I can continue working and doing what I love.

Every contribution will go a long way in helping me get back on my feet. I can't thank you enough for your support and generosity.
