Santa Monica Camera Looting Relief Fundraiser

Due to the recent protests and civil unrest surrounding the unjust killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin prompted many causeless, senseless people looking for anonymity in crowds to partake in rioting, looting, and destruction in the Santa Monica area, as well as cities across the Country.

Santa Monica Camera, a well known, local business was completely destroyed and robbed on the night of the 31st of May, 2020. Knowing the humble, kind, accepting family of the co-owner, Joe Padilla, personally, it deeply saddens me to see this senseless destruction of their livelihood. These are good, loving people.

Please, if you can, donate so that they may recover from this unfortunate event.
