Help replace Rachel's livelihood stolen in Uhaul.
Donation protected
My daughter and I were driving across the country as she prepared to move from Bloomington, IN to Los Angeles, CA. Overnight, the trailer with all of her belongings, her entire life, was stolen from the hotel parking lot. As her father, I'm devastated for her and have no idea what to do to support her. I'm hoping this helps.
If you can, please help as she finds a way to rebuild her life.
Here's what she posted on Facebook about the incident:
"I’ve been driving across the country with my father for the past two days with a Uhaul trailer. We stayed at a hotel in Salt Lake City last night and woke up at 4am to drive the final 12 hours to California, only to find that the trailer was stolen over night.
Stolen. My entire life. My entire identity. All of my dearest and most sentimental possessions. Everything that I’ve ever owned. All of my research thus far for my graduate program at RISD. All of my vinyl records. All of my books. All of my art. Everything.
I’m devastated and trying to wrap my head around how and why someone would do this. I only hope they need my belongings more than I do.
But this isn’t really about the material things. This is about who I am. My grandfather’s wallet. My grandparents wedding photo, possibly the only physical copy in existence. My Bubby’s jewelry she gave to me before she passed. Letters that were written, treasured voice recordings from my childhood, old non-digitized family photos from generations past. Irreplaceable one-of-a-kind artwork. Blankets handmade for me and filled with memories.
This is not how I planned to tell the world I was officially leaving Bloomington, yet here we are. I’m moving to LA and relocating to Secretly’s office there. I’m grateful for the opportunity, but am currently feeling rather lost.
With all of my identity paperwork stolen (birth certificate, passport, etc.), I had to submit a fraud alert. When asked for my address, I felt utterly meaningless. I have no address. I’m out of Bloomington but not yet moved into LA. I feel very strange. Impermanent. Invisible. Nonexistent. This sucks."
