Introduction: A Visual Anchor for Resilience

Thank you for considering a donation to Dre Erwin Photography. Your contribution plays a crucial and direct role in supporting our mission to provide tools for mental well-being and visual expression.

We invite donations of gently used camera equipment and cell phones, which directly enhance our efforts in working with Métis and First Nations youth in communities like Sandy Bay, Saskatchewan, Canada. Through the power of therapeutic photography, your generosity helps empower these young individuals by giving them a visual anchor for healing and the transformative impact of storytelling.

We welcome donations of gently used equipment that is in good working condition and suitable for photography education:

  • Digital Cameras: DSLR and Mirrorless bodies.

  • Lenses: Prime and Zoom lenses in working order.

  • Essential Gear: Tripods, camera bags, and external flashes.

  • Accessories: Memory cards, rechargeable batteries, and charging cables.

  • Technology: Newer-model cell phones suitable for high-quality mobile photography and editing.
