Dallas, Texas. 19-year-old Rachel is a young woman living in Dallas, Texas, who recently came home to something terrible.
Rachel opened the door of her apartment, only to discover that someone had broken in and stole more than $20,000 of her belongings.
“On December 19th my sister, Rachel, walked into her apartment to find that everything had been stolen,” Rachel’s sister Christina Francis wrote on a GoFundMe.
“A burglar broke into her home in Dallas and stole over $20,000 worth of personal property and money, including the equipment that sustains her livelihood as a musician.”
“To name just a few things that were taken: her electric and acoustic guitars- including her very first guitar she was raised on, guitar pedals, home studio setup, music equipment, flute, computer, TV, all of her clothes and shoes, and everything else you can imagine.”
“The culmination of her life’s work was taken from her.”
Christina did say that Rachel reported the burlargy to the local police department, but so far, the authorities don’t know who did this to her.
The police also said to Rachel that they don’t think the things that were stolen from her will ever be recovered.

“Because of this situation, she now needs to find a new safe place to live, as well as find a way to pay for the basic necessities she needs to survive in her life and career,” Christina said.
“All who know Rachel know how dedicated and hardworking she is in her music career.”
“At the present time, Rachel is feeling extremely overwhelmed and any kind words or phone calls can be sent to me or her family instead of directly to her.”
“In lieu of physical gifts, it’s most important that she has enough money to pay her immediate bills, find a place to live, and get back on her feet.”
Christina is now trying to raise money to help her sister replace everything that was stolen from her.
