Tony's Stolen Professional Trombone Equipment

Donation protected
Hello everybody! First and foremost, thank you for even clicking on this fund raising link! My husband Brandon and I decided to create a GoFundMe account on behalf of my brother, Tony. Not only is he an amazing musician (Trombone Player) in Seattle, he is the kindest, most thoughtful person you could ever come across. While out of musical work due to Covid-19 shutdowns, Tony found a job working in a nearby hospital to help make ends meet, but also to help with the stress the medical industry is currently facing during this pandemic.

During his lunch time breaks, Tony makes time to go to their parking garage to practice and continue to keep his trombone skills sharp.  I'm sure some of you have seen the videos I share on my Facebook! He is truly talented and his videos bring so much joy to many of us!

Today, three days after Christmas, as Tony was warming up for his daily parking garage recital, someone stole his trombone case. Within the trombone case was his iPad, headphones, and other recording equipment he needs. These items are quite costly, and for something to happen to someone who continuously helps the community breaks our hearts. 

We are now trying to raise enough money to cover the costs of the items stolen. Anything you can spare is greatly appreciated. We're hoping this could be a great gift for such a great guy after such a terrible circumstance.

Thank you so much! :)  (See link for some of Tony's beautiful work!)
