On March 15th in downtown Oakland the camera and equipment central to Cha’s livelihood was stolen. The burglars made off with a professional-grade camera, including a Canon Rebel camera, a drone and accessories. They also took three lenses, including 35mm lens, 50mm lens, wide angle lens and 6 memory cards, among others. In other words, all the equipment she uses to take photographs and videos to make a living. The total cost of what was lost is about $5,000.
All proceeds will go to replace Cha’s stolen equipment!
Please participate, donate and share.
Collectively we can help!
