Hi guys,

As many of you know, last week I was evacuated from the Hollywood Hills fires and displaced then forced to evacuate once more due to the Palisades fire. I woke up to my car being stolen by looters with the contents I evacuated from my home with, alongside it. Most importantly, my book I’ve been working on for the last 6 months, previously saved on laptops and external hard drives, my cameras, keepsakes, writing journals since I was 12, letters from my mom, passport, wallet, cash, photos, clothing and so many things that were all I had of importance and held close to my heart.

My book is an immeasurable loss that I can’t process right now but I am holding onto hope the police are able to do something, although at this time, it is not a priority for the LAPD and the vehicle manufacturer is unable to give me a gps ping of the vehicle due to it being a “security measure”.

My heart is completely broken and I’m still trying to process this loss and stay positive however this is not something I can personally afford to cover at this time — grateful for your help in this time and blessed to have such a supportive community.

These funds will be used to build my life back after this loss and be able to safely be on the road again.

All my love,

Daniel
