Help Bryce Rebuild After Devastating Theft
Donation protected
Hi everyone, I'm Kayla and Bryce is my son. I am trying to raise funds to help him replace what was stolen.

Bryce graduated on February 14th, 2025, from Universal Technical Institute with his Auto and Diesel Mechanics certifications in Phoenix, Arizona. That day, we loaded up his Yukon with everything he owned—his entire life for the last 2 and a half years. We set off for Las Vegas on our road trip back home to Alaska as a 21st birthday and graduation celebration since they happened in the same week. We arrived in Las Vegas late on the 14th, checked into the Excalibur Hotel and Resort, and parked in their secured parking garage. At 10 am, he went to his truck to discover it GONE! After security blamed him for parking in the wrong garage or not remembering where he parked, they decided to check the cameras. They were able to confirm that about 2:42 am, the truck did leave the garage. We had been parked for 2 hours! We filed a report with the local PD, and they were less than helpful. He lost everything. He had received $1000 in Snap-on tools for graduating on the 14th. He had a couple thousand dollars in tools, a brand new Xbox, a PS5, all of his clothing, the truck itself, and brand new $800 tires that were put on the Yukon on Feb 13th for the trip home. We were stranded. Sunday, our insurance informed us the vehicle had been taken out of the stolen vehicle database. We contacted the police and found where his vehicle had been towed to. Everything was gone besides a few random items. His financial life was in that Yukon as well. They both lost everything they own. As a mechanic, you need your own tools to go to work. Car insurance doesn't cover any personal items that were inside, only the vehicle itself, and we are still waiting on their investigation to find out if they will cover the theft or not. Please help us help them with starting over. Bryce needs mechanics tools so he can get to work and clothing, etc. They both lost everything. Please keep sharing.
