Help Aarik Recover His Stolen Items
Donation protected
Aarik has always been a creative at heart. Through music, photo, video, graphic design and more he channels himself into his work. However, Earlier this year Aarik's creative outlet and livelihood was stolen from him. Camera, Lenses, Laptop, Synth, headphones, hard drives, etc. Everything was gone in an instant. After months with dealing with police and investigators, it looks as if his gear will never return. In one night, $12,300+ of gear was lost, with no backups. On top of him already having a rough year, there would be no way for him to afford all that again. It took years to get where he was, and now he's knocked back down to square one.
That is where we come in. Aarik has always dropped everything to help his friends, family, and co workers. He is willing to put himself last to let someone else get a chance. There are countless times where he has come to my aide, and if you know him personally I'm sure you can think of a time when he has helped you out as well. Lets come together to help a friend. Although we can't replace the music, photos, or videos that where with his old gear, we CAN raise the money needed to replace his stolen equipment. Even if all you can afford is $5 or less, it will help get him back on track and in the creative realm again.
Our initial goal is $5,500 for a new camera, lens, and laptop. If the goal is met, our secondary goal will be the total amount of $12,300.
If you want to see the specific Items that where lost, here is a spreadsheet of lost items.
Please consider donating, it would really help a good friend to all.
