The Travelin' Cowboy lost everything in a house fire

Westown, New Plymouth

On the 16th of July 2025, all my music gear was stored in a residence that went up in flames. As I was taking a small break from my music, I didn't have insurance and lost everything but 1 guitar (that was getting fixed elsewhere).

As I'm not currently employed, I have limited funds to survive and currently living in my camper.

All I'm needing is a few things to get me back up and running for rest home gigs until I can make enough to get everything else I need.

If I end up getting more than the $500, then all other money will be going towards keeping my camper running and other extras needed for bigger music gigs.

*EDIT*

If anyone puts money into my private account to help support this cause, I will be putting it in this givealittle with their name attached so it doesn't accidentally gets spent on anything else.
