Someone broke into our apartment this morning and ransacked the place. The thieves took ~$13K of Ian's musical instruments and electronic equipment. Unfortunately, we thought we could not afford insurance, so none of this can be reimbursed. ALWAYS HAVE HOME OR RENTER'S INSURANCE, PEOPLE. This kind of stuff happens way too much...

Among the items stolen was Ian's $9,000 classical concert guitar (Paul Sheridan) that we bought with a loan and he uses for all of his classical performances. We also lost other electronics and accessories, including a backpack full of cords and pedals, two laptops and an iPad containing original compositions. This is how Ian makes a living and we would really appreciate it so much if you could help us out right now.  If not, that's cool too. We still love you. 

If we are able to raise $500 we can get Ian a laptop.

If we can raise $1,000+ we can put it in our savings account and Ian will eventually be able to replace his classical guitar, although perhaps not with the same caliber, with a classical concert guitar that he can use for upcoming performances.

We really don't expect anything but I'm at a total loss right now with how to help Ian through this. We appreciate all your love and support right now, in any form. Please send Ian some love! <3
