User-submitted image -  Click to see real sizeFrom the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! I'm in tears of joy as I write this. Just when I felt better health wise, and I was literally feeling like I'm getting back on my feet, still hoping for the Modest Needs funding, the covid19 pandemic hit. As a full time musician, an accompanist and being on the praise/worship team at church, this pandemic put me out of work. Also, as a part-time accompanist at the school, we went to online classes. Luckily, I'm able to clock a few hours to help make tracks and videos for choir students. The email from Modest Needs came to me just after a conversation I had with someone. I said 'Even though things are very uncertain right now, I have a peace and calm that I can't explain. Communities are coming together and no matter what God's got my back.' Literally minutes after that conversation, I received the email from Modest Needs that I had been funded! To all who contributed, you are truly angels and I am so incredibly grateful for your generosity. It's people like you that continues to make humanity great. Your funding is helping me a lot during this time! Thank you. Thank you!



Single Woman Recovering From Many Hardships Needs Your Helping Hand

My Story:

I am a divorced woman living by myself with my 8 year old Labrador retriever. I'm a full time hard working musician, singer and a songwriter. I also accompany for a choir at a christian school in the mornings. I literally work every single day. On occasion I sub for the middle school choirs. I owned and operated a music school for 16 years but it closed its doors last year. However, I still teach private focus sessions.

I work very hard and I pride myself in work ethic and empowering others. I hit a hardship after my divorce and then after an abusive relationship followed. I had a trickle down effect of medical issues (I didn't have insurance at the time) that cost a lot. Though I still worked, I had a hard time retaining my teaching business because I was severely anemic and tired all the time. Then the one thing that keeps me going daily, my dog, was attacked by a pit bull. The veterinary bill costed me a lot. I ended up moving off of that street because I was scared of the neighbors dog. All of this caused me to fall behind financially and now I need Modest Needs help with my car payment.

Your help would truly be a game changer during this tough season. I really need a helping hand after all that happened to me. With assistance, I will be able to start saving some money down the line if any emergency like this happens. Thank you for taking time to read my story and help.
