My Car Burned Down — I Need Your Help to Keep Creating

Hi, I’m Paul Ashch (Pavel Ashcheulau), a videographer and content creator. Since 2021, my car has been more than just a vehicle — it’s been my studio on wheels, my gear hauler, my creative partner, and honestly, a part of my family.

This happened in the most unexpected way. I went to see the movie. Parked the car properly like always. Ten minutes later, my phone started blowing up — nonstop calls from the police, my parents, my friends.

Everyone was asking the same thing:

“Are you okay? Police just called us. Your car is on fire.”

I ran outside — and there it was. My car, completely engulfed in flames. Just ten minutes earlier, I had been sitting inside.

It’s hard to put into words what that moment felt like. I was in shock. This wasn’t just a car — it was my lifeline. Every shoot, every project, every journey started with that car.

Now, I’m completely thrown off track. I can’t work, I can’t travel, and I feel stuck. I’ve never made a GoFundMe before, but right now, I need help.

If my videos ever inspired you, taught you something, or made you smile — I’d be truly grateful for any support. Every bit counts.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
