Donations for injured Iraqi Photographer

Hey Everyone,
At the bombing last week in Kirkuk, Iraq – my fixer, Yahya, who is also a freelance photographer, was badly injured by a rioting mob. All his gear was ripped from his body and destroyed. After some time in the hospital Yahya is recovering well, minus the cameras that provide him and his family some much needed income. If anyone has any digital SLR cameras lying around, please let me know. I would like to get Yahya some gear so he can continue working.

Thanks
Ben

Hey Ben,

I’d be happy to help. I’ll be in Baghdad in September and have an extra 30D body I can bring.
