My name is George Case, from Geo C and Tha Storm. Many of you know me and know my passion for sharing my music and my love for humanity.

My vehicle was vandalized by an arsonist more than a week ago. I walked out of my garage to unload my band equipment to find that the inside of my Suburban had been set on fire. I was not the only victim. After filing a police and fire report it was revealed that another car across the street was also set on fire, along with a couple of homes. This was done intentionally.

This vehicle had served me well on so many levels and for so many reasons.

My dedication for working with special needs has spanned decades. My passion and love for music has been with me my whole life. I have shared my love of music and was more than happy to DJ special needs dances, concerts, etc and have done so for many, many years

This unforeseen tragedy has cost me my work and band equipment transport vehicle, but just as important, the vehicle I use to get me to the locations where I could DJ special needs dances. Between costly band equipment and the cost of the vehicle, I am easily at a $20,000 loss. Replacing this will be overwhelming and has set me back tremendously, just as the holidays are upon us.

I am a loss for words as to why one would purposely hurt others. This is so disheartening. Even so, I believe in humanity and I know that there are plenty of good people out there. All hope is not lost.

I humbly ask for any donations that could help me put together a decent down payment or help replace some of my band equipment. The vehicle only had liability insurance. It is not common to insure vehicles for arson and band equipment is not typically insurable. Replacing what I have will be extremely expensive, but necessary to do what I do.

This person has been on the run and the police know who they are looking for. This person of interest has been eluding the authorities and obviously gets joy out of hurting others. They will not be on the run for long. I have faith in our Youngstown Police department and know that this will be resolved soon.

Please don't feel compelled to donate, however if you do I thank you. More importantly keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart.

Love and blessings - Geo.
