Please Help Replace Eric's Stolen Camera Gear

Donation protected
For many of you, our first or most memorable connection was through my camera lens. Wether in person or shared through the ethers, I’ve crystalized thousands of precious moments and made countless connections through my craft of photography. Perhaps I captured an unforgettable kiss or embrace that made you feel loved. Maybe an ecstatic moment of movement that brought you exuberant joy. Maybe I was able to show you how beautiful you really are. Without my cameras I feel disconnected from both purpose and means of financially supporting myself.

I'm humbly creating this crowdfunding campaign to ask for donations to help replace my professional camera gear that was stolen at a recent holiday event. A deviously coordinated diversion lead to my entire bag of gear being stolen from the media hub just feet away from the media manager. 2 Camera bodies, 4 lenses, 1 flash, a tripod, and expensive accessories. A total of $10,000 + were stolen. Also devastatingly embarrassing, my insurance had lapsed so all of this equipment must be replaced out of my own pocket.

My whole life, the struggle of asking for help has been an underlying theme for my personal growth. I humbly created this fundraiser to practice asking directly for help. I would be incredibly grateful for any amount of money that you can comfortably bless me with. I would be honored if I could repay your generous contributions with high resolution copies of any past images I’ve captured as well as happily offering to shoot images for you personally or for your event.

I am so grateful for my community, and I’m aware that you all have your own struggles. I have zero expectations for you to donate, and would graciously welcome your good wishes and prayers. One amazing alternative way to support me would be to refer me to potential photo jobs.

One thing I’m certain of! This will not phase me, I will work hard and laugh at this one day. I have many beautiful things expanding in my life and I look forward to capturing countless more magical moments with you all.
