Day 1 was epic and incredibly emotional. I am overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity that has been shown to me.

Within 4 hours of launch, nearly $3500 had been raised! I was particularly moved by a donation from a professional violinist whom I have never met before and a whopping $2503 contribution from one of my former students in Los Angeles. Wonderfully enough, the perk that was selected was a year of Skype lessons, and I am looking forward to fulfilling it!

 

As of the time of posting, $3995 had been raised. That means $11,005 remains, putting the per-day  goal at an average of $314. 

 

Huge love goes to day 1 sponsors:
