Crowdfunding since 2010

Attacked covering refugee arrival on Lesbos by bystanders -cameras and gear thrown into the sea.

Covering refugees arriving at the shore of Lesvos, locals that wanted me to hinder from having photos of them shouting at a boat of minors and women, orchestrated an attack on me. They beat me up and threw my cameras into the harbour. Sadly my equipment was not fully insured.

Wow all of you are amazing, I am overwhelmed by your support. All money donated from now on, will go to

We need more journalists on Lesvos to report about the situation. Refugees need to be represented amongst those! The amount on attacks on migrants on the island need to be reported about. They need gear to supply their classes, so the money goes to a similar use like mine - that's why I selected them.

If there should me more money raised then I need to replace my equipment I will donate that money to people aiding refugees in Lesbos directly. I met the great initiative ‚Refocus Media Labs‘ that are teaching refugees media skills.

I admire their work and think it’s more important than ever to support people that have a better insight to this in developing skills in storytelling.

They should be supported at least as much as I was.
