Help Jake Replace His Stolen Camera

Jake recently moved to New York City after spending the last 8 months traveling the world — documenting everything through his camera lens. He captured the kind of beauty most of us only dream about — and he did it not just for himself, but for all of us lucky enough to follow along.

That camera wasn’t just gear — it was his voice, his connection to the world, and the tool he used to tell stories and share meaning.

Unfortunately, shortly after arriving in NYC, Jake’s camera was stolen.

We were planning a surprise birthday gift to replace it, but didn’t quite meet our initial fundraising goal. So now we’re opening this up to a wider circle — family, friends, and anyone who’s been touched by Jake’s creativity, kindness, and generous spirit.

The funds raised by Friday, August 1st will go directly toward replacing the camera and helping Jake get back behind the lens, sharing his view of the world by his birthday on August 5th.

If you want to send a short birthday message to Jake, just text it to either me or eddie and we will add it to the card!
