Help me get my lense back

From an independent artist to the world.

Some of you know that I'm a photography and videography enthusiast. It's simply my passion and a way to financially support my studies. So far I had only one lens for all my needs. It was not necessary to buy a second one since I'm a design student and always on a budget. I always separate the lens from my camera after finishing a shooting because I'm scared of damaging the lens. That's why I keep my camera with a strap to my body and the lens in my bag.

The bad news is that I was robbed. 

I just finished a street style fashion shooting and went home. On my way home my camera messenger bag I'm carrying around got ripped off by two guys on a scooter. I was so paralyzed that my brain just shut down. That's a feeling I wouldn't want anybody to experience. I've called the police and tried to get my stuff back but unfortunately this was not possible. 

So long story short. I've saved money for 1 year to get this lens and now I still don't have the opportunity to even buy me a pre-owned one from eBay. 

I hope some of you can help a young soul out so that I can keep supporting my studies with this passion of mine.
