Data Recovery Funding

As a freelance photographer / videographer I have experienced the worst possible thing that could happen to any digital creative freelancer, I recently purchased a 4TB harddrive to store all my digital files from the last 1.5 years, and I accidently dropped the harddrive onto the floor. I took my harddrive into a data recovery company and they are needing $600.00 to recover my data. As a freelance photographer / videographer I just dont have that sort of money laying around to recover my data. This is 1.5 years of footage hanging on the line, I cant really afford to lose this data, its extremely valuable to me, but I also cannot afford the $600.00. So I'm asking for any help and donations to help me get my data recovered.
