Former ACCEPT and current U.D.O. bassist Peter Baltes‘s home has been damaged by Hurricane Milton; a GoFundMe campaign has been launched to assist.
In an introductory message on GoFundMe, Peter wrote: “Hurricane Milton hit my area head on while I was still on tour. My wife and the cats where in a shelter with friends. I was able to fly out straight after the last show. I thank God that our family was spared. Many others were not that fortunate. The house has damage[d] but it can be repaired. The cage and concrete floor are busted and need to be replaced. Of course not covered by insurance. We would appreciate if you could help”.
He added in a post on his Facebook page: “Hi everybody, it’s been 5 days since I got home from the US Tour. Johanna and I have been working relentless to clean everything up. Milton hit us straight on. Most of the damage is contained to the back of the house. It will be repaired. But the insurance company does not cover any of it. Johanna & I would appreciate it very much if you guys could help out”.
He also wrote in a separate post: “This was the third hurricane my wife had to go through by herself. Im always on the road at that time. Not feeling too good about it. Hope this is it for the season.”
As of early Thursday morning, October 17, only $466 has been raised towards the GoFundMe campaign’s $10,000 goal.
