help make my birthday wish come true

Dear Friends and Family,

As many of you know, a couple of weeks ago I had an unfortunate incident with a burglar. Basically someone broke into our house and stole a ton of stuff, including my laptop, camera, hardrive, ipod, phone, and passport. I was bummed about losing my camera and laptop and everything but I know those are just things and can be replaced (some day in the distant future when I am not living on a Mexican teacher salary and paying loans). However the hardest part has been losing all my pictures and memories from the last decade of my life. I am someone who loves taking pictures and cherishes the memories that come along with them. So it basically broke my heart to realize that all of my pictures from college, camp, ski tournaments, living and traveling in Europe, friends and family weddings, vacations, etc. were gone.

So I have had a lot of people ask if there is any way they can help or support me and here is my one request:

If you have any pictures that you think I might love to have in my possession please share them with me so that I can start rebuilding my collection of photographic memories.

Here are the two ways you can help me do this:

1. If you just a few jems you want to share, please attach them to an e-mail and send them to me at kat.bramley@gmail.com

2. If you just have too many and can't fit them in an e-mail, burn them to a disk and send it to my lovely sister's address in the states since I am in the far away land of Mexico where the postal service is less than trustworthy. Here is the address you can send it to:

Kat Bramley
365 N. Jefferson St.
Unit #2203
Chicago, IL
60661


I know that it will take some time out of your day to do this but it would be the best birthday present imagineable if I were able to get back some of the pictures and memories that were lost.

Thanks and hope you are well.

Happy almost birthday to me!
