Hi, so this is hard for me to put out there, but I've been given advice to reach out to our community for support in this case. .. so here it goes.
Our beloved little home was broken into and we were robbed. And as the palpable strangeness of this experience alone is a real emotional challenge,..
we also had our cash savings stolen, our computers stolen, as well as lost many precious pieces of art and jewelry that had been collected over the years.
My partner and I both are artists working and striving to make headway in the world with our work. While we both count our blessings everyday, it's hard to covey the amount of time and energy that goes into the making of our art that isn't always observed. We are a painter and a musician who could now use support from the community.
While we are reeling and dealing with the experience of having our house privacy and sanctity being so violated, we are also presented with the task of figuring out how to make rent.. as well deal with the loss of a very important tool, our computers (the tools and records of artwork that are the basis of a growing career).
If you have anything to spare that wouldn't be putting yourself out, we are accepting support in the form of donations through this site. These donations would go towards continuing our ability to keep our apartment and pay rent, and beyond that, potentially go towards getting computers again (a very necessary tool for us), or replacing some of our friends work and art that was taken from us.
We send so much gratitude and love towards support sent our way.
Doing our best to keep our heads up and to keep on keepin on!
(Ps.. while the total value that was taken from us far exceeds our listed goal, we figure anything that comes our way would help.) (Kinda wishing we hadn't set a goal, as any amount helps, but also we aren't expecting a certain number.)
