Story
Holly is a 30 yr old, disabled, independent artist. She runs her own art business, Chaoillustrations, as her full time job.
This weekend, she had travelled down to London for the biggest event of the calender year. The night before set up, the van was broken into and ransacked in a "secure" parking lot. A drill was used to precisely take out the locks on the vehicle but there is likely no way to find the culprits.
The theives have made off with expensive equipment (including a £700 camera she uses for her business) and important items, such as some of her medication. The stock for the event was also slashed, torn through and strewn about the carpark.
To add further insult, Holly and Phil, her partner, are also left to pay the excess on the van due to the break-in.
Thanks to amazing support from the artist community, her wonderful fiance and her own strength, Holly has managed to set up her stall this weekend! They will be working their absolute hardest to try and recoup some of the losses, but with the destruction of stock this will be much harder. As well as this, Holly will be under enormous emotional stress, which has a negative impact on her medical conditions.
Please consider donating anything you can to help Holly get back on her feet. 💚
