Last night, my car was broken into and a significant amount of my music equipment was stolen. I’m honestly still trying to process what happened. Most of the gear that was taken wasn’t something I bought myself—it was given to me as gifts over the years by friends and family who supported my passion for music. That makes this loss feel even more personal and painful. As a college student, I simply don’t have the resources to replace any of it right now, and it’s left me feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next.

Music has always been a huge part of my life. It’s how I express myself, manage stress, and stay grounded through the ups and downs of school and life. Losing all of my equipment so suddenly has really taken a toll on me, both mentally and creatively. I feel stuck without the tools that help me create and cope. I’m not someone who usually asks for help, but right now I could really use some support. Anything you can give, or even just sharing this fundraiser, would mean so much to me. I just want to get back to making music and feeling like myself again.
