Replace stolen flight bag for Pilot

Donation protected
This campaign is to raise money needed to replace the items that were in the flight bag stolen from Jeremy Fowler's truck on Sunday 8/16/15. Long Beach , CA ( truck was locked and broken into )
I met Jeremy approximately 6 months ago when I posted a flight request on PilotsnPaws ( a Non -profit organization that pilots volunteer with and donate flights to transport animals in need of medical care or that are at risk if euthanasia ( rescued from high kill shelters ) to get them to new adoptive homes or rescues. Jeremy offered to fly a dog ( a 60 lb shepherd mix named Chief) to a rescue in Northern , CA from Long Beach , CA. . The husky was a young hyper dog in need of training , moments from being surrendered to a high kill shelter ( because family could not keep him do to home loss.  Jeremy ( along with another pilot ) donated the flight to get Chief to rescue with a foster home waiting in Northern , CA where he receive training and care  ) .  Since that time Jeremy has flown approx 4 pilotsnpaws flights that I personally have coordinated as well as other flights to save lives for other rescuers.  Jeremy sent me a text on Sunday 8/16. He said , " Michelle someone broke into my truck and stole my flight bag
I want you to know that I won't be able to do any flights for awhile until I can save -up to replace the items stolen ."
This was so upsetting .  Jeremy received his pilots license less than 2. Years ago and he has already donated several " flights of freedom " saving lives . I shared this terrible incident with rescue friends, and co workers and they all agreed that I  should set up a fundraiser and they would like to help to donate to the cost to replace the items so Jeremy could fly again soon and help save more lives . I asked Jeremy for a detailed ist of items that were in the flight bag :
Flight bag $69
Bose A20 headset $1, 095.00
David Clark Headset $499
Tax chart $7

Please help to turn this around and if everyone shares and helps to donate Jeremy can replace these items and fly soon . There are many dogs and cats in shelters that benefit from this gift of flight to get them into safe hands and Jeremy is a kind and generous young pilot willing to help with this gift of a Flight to Freedom .
