Michelle, Lance & Fr. Luke victims of robbery!

Hi, my name is Marianne Nuccio, I am the mother of Michelle Nuccio. I am trying to raise funds for Michelle, Lance and Father Luke. Michelle is a photographer. She recently traveled to California with her boyfriend Lance VanGlahn. The purpose of their trip was to photograph and share in the renovations going on at the San Junipero Friary in Oakland , California. Lance's brother, Fr. Luke is a member of the Franciscan Friars of Renewal.

Fr. Luke drove the Dodge minivan used by the Friars to pick up Michelle and Lance at the airport. They made a stop before visiting the friary. Fr. Luke wanted to show them the Camera Obscura at Land's End Park. It was the middle of the day in a busy state park. Something awful happened during the short time that they were away from the car. Michelle, Lance and Fr. Luke were the victim's of a SMASH and GRAB ROBBERY. The front windshield and rear glass were SMASHED in. The THIEVES made off with ALL of Michelle and Lance's belongings. Including their LUGGAGE with ALL of their clothing, Michelle's wallet, All of her Hard Earned CAMERA EQUIPMENT, both of their LAPTOPS, EVERYTHING was GONE! A police report was filed. But none of their belongings were recovered.

Fr. Luke spent the last 15 years attending to the needs of the poor in NYC. Fr. Luke is now serving with his fellow Friars in the Diocese of Oakland , CA and establishing a new friary. Their mission is to work with and assist the poor and underprivileged people in their community. The Friars live a life of simplicity and poverty. They depend on contributions from others. HELP is needed to repair the minivan. The cost of replacing the glass is over $400.

Michelle, Lance and Fr. Luke could really use your support!
