My name is Jonathan, I am 16 years old, and I am a sophomore at Green Valley High School. I began drumming in 6th grade and as a person with autism, percussion helped me in so many ways. I made friends for the first time, it taught me how to really communicate with my peers, and it also helped me belong when I had always struggled with that before. Percussion has given me a dream and a goal in life. It has become the thing I am most passionate about.
This year all my hard work paid off and I was ranked 1st in the state of Nevada for percussion.
I have an amazing opportunity to play in Europe. It will be a 12 day trip that will include not only playing at world famous venues, afford me the opportunity to experience music in other cultures and be educationally enriching. We will play on the beach in Normandy to honor the lives lost there 80 years ago. We will also play in the 80th anniversary memorial parade in France as a representative of the United States. There is a possibility we will also tour a concentration camp.
This trip, will help me with applying to college in the future as I want to pursue percussion, and enhance me as an individual.
Since my father passed away last year, my mother has become a single parent. Because of that, I need your help as we can’t afford the trip on our own. I would ask that you would prayerfully consider sponsoring me for this once in a lifetime opportunity. I only have one month left to raise the money so I would ask you to help if you can.
