We Could Really Use Your Help

Donation protected

Hey there, 
My name is Trisha Lurie and I'm an artist/musician and photographer from Santa Monica CA. But, most importantly I'm a mother of an amazing 13 year old boy! Well he will be 13 next week :) You'll see some photos of him below :) So, what is my story you ask? 
Well, in a nutshell, I'm having a bit of a financial crisis. I have recently run into some debt due to jobs I was counting on falling through and I haven't been able to catch up.
I have been looking for work in every possible way, I've even taken up some babysitting gigs, which it turns out I actually have really enjoyed.
But, it's not enough income to raise a family. Lately, by the end of the month paying the bills and making rent comes down to pure luck or help from friends to make ends meet. I never thought I would find myself affraid of eviction every month. This stress literally feels like it's killing me. 
So, I decided to take on some photography/videography gigs to help raise some money and get us out of the hole.
I was beyond excited to book some work and it really gave me an exciting new hope in moving forward... I love photography/videography and I was really looking forward to all the new opportunities.  

But then...

In the worst timing ever, I had my camera/gear stolen from me this weekend. At first I was completely devastated. Besides loosing my work machine, there are also few photo-shoots worth of work photos on the card that I hadn't uploaded. (which I needed to give to clients) So I will now need to re-shoot those.
But, I can't afford to replace my gear, so I have been brainstorming ways to figure it out. 

My Great Big Idea ;)
All of the sudden, I got an idea... What if I just asked for help?
I'm actually super uncomfortable with asking for help (Like super uncomfortable) but when you find yourself a struggling mom at this level, ego kind of has a way of jumping out the window. So, here I am... Asking for your help.

But before you read any further...
I want you to know how much I appreciate the time you took to read this and even if you cannot contribute, please feel free to share this with those you think might be interested. However if you do choose to help me get out of my pickle by donating or sharing, I want you to know how incredibly grateful I will be. I truly believe that when communities come together to help each other out we become stronger, happier and spread love all around us. I cannot wait to have the ability to pay it forward.  

Here is some of my previous videography and photography work shot on my beloved camera.
