Help Replace Bill's Unrepairable Camera Equipment

Hi, I'm Patti, and I'm Bill McClintic's wife. Bill owns 90 East Photography. He is well-known around Nashville for his incredible photos, especially his live music shots. The bad news is Bill was shooting a show very recently at a club downtown when someone accidentally knocked his camera equipment out of his hands and it fell to the concrete floor. Thinking it might be repairable, Bill submitted photos and a description of the damage to Nikon for an estimate. The news got worse. It's hopeless. It has taken years to amass the equipment necessary to compete in today's photography world and insurance isn't covering the loss. The last thing in the world we wanted to do was ask for help, but it's our only chance right now. Bill has described the loss of his camera "like losing my right arm." He has upcoming photo shoots and unless we can replace the gear those jobs will be canceled. To put it bluntly, we're desperate. Anyone that knows Bill will tell you he'll help anybody. He'll do shoots at ridiculously reduced prices and has been known to do them for free at times. An overall good guy that's big heart extends far beyond his photography, he isn't one to ask for anything, so I'm giving it a try. I don't know what else to say except anything counts and thank you.
