Kenneth Bullock's Repair Shop & Fire Damage

Kenneth Bullock, a fellow Band Instrument Repair Technician located in the U.K. had a tragedy occur a few nights ago. His repair shop was adjacent to his home and caught fire due to a stray bottle rocket from some teens playing with fireworks in the neighborhood. 

He has spent the past few years building his shop in order to turn it into a full time business. He was about ready to do that when this occurred.

Because this was part of his home, his homeowners insurance will cover the cost of rebuilding the structure, but only a portion of the tools and supplies. 

I've created this to help him build backup and replace many of the tools  and equipment that were lost.  

This campaign has a goal of £10,000 UK. So keep that in mind if you are donating in US dollars or other currency. The current exchange rate for US to UK is 1.38 so for every Pound you donate is equal to $1.38.

Update 7/5/21

I was just informed that Kenneth's homeowners insurance is only going to give him £3000 to cover the cost of replacing the contents. As you can see in the photos that is only a fraction of what he needs. Please do as much as you can and don't forget to share this with your friends, other techs and fellow musicians.  

Lets come together and support a member of the BIR community who really needs it right now.

This was his shop before the fire.
