Help Amina Start All Over Photography Equipment

Donation protected

My friends Small Business is HURTING! Amina has been a photographer since 2015.  Amina has worked hard to build her business for years. Expanding her equipment thru the years working on her studio, props you name it everything that a photographer needs to shoot Weddings ,Quinceanera, Maternity, Newborn, Family, Engagement, Proposals etc. This is so devastating all of it was taken from her in seconds during a Proposal session. Many of us leave our home ready to work hard and never imagine to come back home empty handed and not have nothing to continue to work
She's having to cancel a wedding she was scheduled to photograph this Friday. 
Just like many of us start from zero and work hard to build our profession please help me help Amina start her business back up again.

"Amina's Post"https://www.facebook.com/aminazaboudail 
I never thought we would have to bring something like this to Facebook, but for the past 3 days our emotions have been everywhere and it has been hard to put into words.
This past Saturday, March 6th, I went to Dallas to capture a surprise proposal for my cousin, Alan, and his new fiancé, Kaitlyn. Moments after the proposal, we got robbed on Ross Ave right next to the Dallas museum of Art. My camera bag with all my lenses + equipment, my wallet, & Kaitlyn’s purse was stolen from the car in the blink of an eye. Over $5,000 worth of equipment itself was taken and we all drove back to Fort Worth empty handed.
Luckily we are all ok and made it home safely to our families.
Since the robbery Saturday night, this man has not stopped using our credit and debit cards around town, TO THIS DAY we are still receiving notifications of attempted transactions and withdrawals from ATMS even after the cards have been cancelled. I had $2100 in cash in my wallet from jobs I had JUST got paid for that I was going to deposit right after Saturday's shoot, and he is still trying to maximize all the money from our cards.
To our surprise, this is a reoccurring thing that happens on Ross Ave on a DAILY basis. (confirmed by a gentleman working for valet across the street as well as the officer that was called to the scene).
This post is simply to spread the news so that people and other photographers are aware of how brazen these thieves are now days. If anyone in that area knows the suspect or has any information on him. This is the information we have so far:
Suspect: Male, African American, thin build, about 6 ft tall (maybe taller), bald
Location of robbery: Corner of N. Saint Paul St. and Ross Ave in downtown Dallas. (Pictures below- our car was where the scooters are pictured)
All of our cards have been being used on Lancaster Rd and Ledbetter Dr. primarily at the 7-11, the "Beta C" Valero convenience store, Texaco, Family Dollar, Citi trends, and Game Stop.
We are desperately asking for help to stop this guy. Please please help us share until this reaches everyone in Dallas, TX!!
