Without your understanding and support,
we would not stand a chance.
But here are a few acts of grace that make me believe we can do this:
1) Back in January 2020, when this whole endeavor was just a gleam in my eye, destiny directed a world-famous children's choir director to my yoga class. Her name was Zimfira Poloz. Her genuine interest at such an early stage encouraged me more than I can say.
2) A brass ensemble I don't know and have never met, performed and recorded the first piece without any desire of recognition or reward.
3) In March, when I first spoke with Thomas Barquee, who has produced artists and music I adore, he agreed to help in major way at a minimal fee.
4) When I ask talented, Brazil-born musician Karina Skye about joining our effort, she replied without hesitation, "I'm in!"
5) In May, while I was working in a homeless shelter, a resident insisted I accept $100 from him to donate to my temple, which of course, is Mother Earth.
6) When I ask painter Siri Kartar Kaur whether she thought she could make a logo, she dove right in and made the work of art you see above.
7) When Thomas and I finish blending the brass Funeral March with nature sounds, our first collaboration, I thought, "Wow! That is beautiful!" And that was just the first piece...
My mind is boggled by everyone's generosity and support.
Here are everyone's donations
in the order they have been received:
