Warren & Saskia after the home fire
Donation protected
Dear Friends,
Our beloved apartment at 9 Gillett Street was burnt on June 28th while we were doing concerts in Europe.
We didn't have renters insurance. Warren's piano and practise keyboard were burnt, monitor screens, furniture and more.
We couldn't reschedule to fly back earlier than our pre-aimed date Aug 6th.
Fortunately our most precious belongings were saved in a locked-up closet but not for long.
Burglars broke into the apartment on July 27th and took Saskia's bass guitar, 2 trumpets, a precious recording microphone, speakers and other music equipment.
They left a mess on the floor with clothes and music paper with Warren's compositions and ideas.
The apartment looks like a moon landscape, full of ash, burnt things sticking out and broken walls. Also there is lots of water damage.
Yesterday we moved most of the remainders of our belongings to a storage place. We rented a room and are safe.
If you want to help by giving money, this is very welcome as you can understand, we are thankful for any amount!
You can send it through this platform or mail a check to our original adress: Warren Byrd, 9 Gillett Street Apt 1D, Hartford, CT 06105. Our mailbox is still working...
Thanks a lot in advance for your generosity and thoughtfulness,
Sincerely and always musically yours,
Saskia Laroo & Warren Byrd
