Friend and contributer to The Weblog Jared Sinclair has just lost everything except for his computer and notebooks in an apartment fire. Jared is a talented musician and lost his guitars and recording equipment in the fire. He is also an avid reader and had a pretty nice library that was lost as well. He didn’t have renters insurance, so he really needs as much help as we can give him. The link below will allow you to donate directly to him. Please let others know as well.
Help Jared Sinclair by donating now.
UPDATE: Jared, ever the artist, made a video tour of his burned out apartment.

Though heartbreaking and financially ruinous, there remains a kind of beauty to ruins like these. The apartment looked a bit like a very large installation piece.

I’m sure Jared agrees.

Jared,
I just heard about what happened from Sarah B. I am sure you remember me as Jason Grollimund’s big sister. My husband William and I live in Nashville and would love to help but we don’t know how to contact you. I am nervous about leaving contact information on this blog, but contact people back home and get our number if we don’t find you first. We would like to help. North Raleigh people have to stick together!
