Saving Lives & Homes
Most musicians have no savings, they rarely get paid properly, and they live gig to gig.
For example, if someone can’t work because they’ve had an accident and are now behind in their rent, we pay their rent and/or utilities to keep them from eviction. We also make sure there is enough food on the table and even go to the hospital with them for treatment if they are alone. In other crisis situations, we are needed to repair or replace instruments so that musicians can keep working. Whatever the situation calls for, we can address the need as long as there are people like you, our donors, who make it possible.
Compassion & Counseling
We look at the whole person and see the long- and short-term challenges.
This can include making home visits to an elderly person who is alone and even connecting them with younger musicians they can mentor who check in and help care for them. We also make calls after business hours to let them know they are not forgotten. Sometimes we uncover the root of someone’s depression or help reconnect them with estranged family members. Every case is special and needs more than what it first presents. Whatever the situation, we heal it as best we can with love, a helping hand, and some creativity.
