I just wanted to share a story with some of you out there. I work with teens who are at the last frontier in the public school system. Due to behavior problems, I am the last stop before judicial or residential lock up. The vast majority of these kids end up here, not because they were born "bad," but all too often because of problems in the home with drug and alcohol abuse, homelessness, domestic violence, etc...
Part of the program I run is about exposing kids to things they might not have otherwise been able to experience. Beyond the standard educational curriculum, I try to include lots of hands on with art, music, film, and other expressive media.
A few weeks ago, I privately shared with another member that I was putting together a few instruments to have at our center for the kids to use. Though I have never met this other member in person, this person took it upon them self to donate, not only, a very nice guitar, but a really choice delay pedal as well. Additionally, this person even paid shipping to Hawaii.
Folks, there are remarkable, generous, and thoughtful people amongst us. Hats off to a community spirit that lives and breathes in the vision of it's creators.
To the anonymous donor, thank you again!
