Help Ivy's Summer Studies

Between the financial stress of paying for two years of tuition, the money we recently spent on a professional-level instrument, and the extensive travel costs I'll have next year when I travel for my college auditions, it'll be really tough for my family to make this happen without a good amount of help. My dad owns a small bakery in Northern Michigan, and the money that he's currently paying for my school tuition is already spreading us thin. To add to all of this, my private teacher rarely returns to our town and currently plays for the Toronto Symphony, so if I can't attend these programs, I'll spend my summer without instruction. With my senior year at Interlochen and my college auditions approaching, this would get in the way of my progress and it's something I'm really trying to avoid.
