Giving Tuesday is coming up in less than a week. We need your help to continue bringing music and performing arts to isolated people.
Heart & Soul stimulates and delights 28,000 people each year by producing over 1,300 live shows at convalescent homes, senior centers, hospitals, centers for children with disabilities, psychiatric facilities, domestic abuse shelters and prisons.
Heart & Soul would not be able to aid residents through this crisis without the generous support of people like you. Once restrictions within the facilities we visit have been officially lifted, we intend to go back in and play music just like before. With your continued support, we can bring the music back into communities of isolated individuals, and bring joy, laughter, and love with us.
The other day my sister and I were helping a dear friend in California, Helen, to get settled in a memory care facility. Helen doesn’t have any family to look out for her—no husband, siblings or children. She was confused and afraid and we were feeling stressed seeing her and how agitated she was about it. I told my sister I would bring my guitar and would get Helen to sing her favorite song (and one of mine).
