<div>Hey! I'm EuGene and I reaching out not just because I've hit a bump in the road but because I'm a new and emerging artist who was just about to put out my debut EP this coming Jan but that has been put on pause due to having my laptops and hard drive stolen whilst me and my family attended a church service in London. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This whole process is new to me and after self funding my music over a number of years I was finally looking forward to sharing my music with the world. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While the laptops have gone and all of the original files are probably being wiped as I type, I still have the MP3 versions and I'll confidant that not only can I recreate my work but this has put afire in me to make it even better than it was before. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This GoFundMe is about me getting back on track so I can create again and share my music with the world. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you believe in the few clips you may have seen of my music or know me then your support would mean the world to me. It's not just about replacing stolen gear. Its about supporting an artist at the start of something special.

Help an Emerging Artist Rebuild after theft of music & gear

<div><strong>Please Help Me Get Back in the Game: Urgent £11k Surgery Needed</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Hi, I’m Lukah.</strong> I’m 18 years old, and basketball is my passion. All I’ve ever wanted to do is be a professional athlete.
</div>
<div>Since I was 5, I’ve dedicated my life to sports, training year-round, first in BMX (where I competed at the national and world level) and now in basketball. In 2023 I achieved a huge milestone, winning the National Under-16 Basketball Championship with my team in my very first season.

</div>
<div><strong>Why I Need Your Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During the off-season, I suffered a subluxation of my left shoulder. The pain was unbearable, but I pushed through, working hard in physiotherapy to strengthen it. Unfortunately, the damage worsened, leading to a labral tear that has left my shoulder unstable. Now, surgery is the only way for me to continue playing at the level I’ve worked so hard to reach.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Without surgery, I won’t be able to pursue my dream of playing basketball professionally. 
</div>
<div>This injury is the one thing standing between me and the career I’ve spent my whole life working toward.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why I Can’t Wait for the NHS</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The NHS wait time for my surgery is between 1.5 to 2 years plus 4 to 6 months of recovery. 
</div>
<div>At 18, I don’t have that kind of time if I want to play at the highest level. 
</div>
<div>I have been offered 2 places at high level basketball academies and the next two seasons are crucial for my development and career opportunities, and waiting that long would make it nearly impossible to compete at the level I need to.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What I Urgently Need</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To get this surgery privately and recover in time for next season, I need to raise <strong>£11,000</strong> this includes surgery and post-op physiotherapy. 
</div>
<div>My family supports me in every way they can, but with the rising cost of living, they aren’t able to raise these funds in time while also supporting my younger sister.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Donate</strong> 
</div>
<div>Every contribution, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to recovery and fulfilling my dream.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Share </strong>
</div>
<div>Spreading the word on social media or among friends and family could make all the difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Support</strong> 
</div>
<div>If you know someone who might be able to help, please pass this on.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Any help, big or small, means the world to me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>THANK YOU</strong>
