My best friend and one of the hardest working women I know lost all her camera equipment in a heartbreaking accident. After photographing a wedding in Lake Como, Italy, all of her gear accidentally fell in the water.

Everything she has worked for and uses for her livelihood was destroyed. She would never ask for help herself, but I'm counting on her community and my own to help her rebuild and get back to capturing the beauty of life.

Any contribution helps, even if all you have is a prayer or words of encouragement. It all means more than you'll ever know.
