Imagine a voice that can move your soul, a voice that is truly a gift from God. That voice belongs to Loria, known to her fans as Loria the Voice, a talented singer with a passion that burns bright. Loria’s musical journey began at the tender age of 5, singing in church. Her soulful voice, reminiscent of Stevie Wonder, Denise Williams, Barbara Streisand, Stephanie Mills and Teena Marie. She has captivated audiences for years. From those early days, it was clear she possessed a gift. As a teenager, Loria's talent flourished, leading her to sing in various choirs, perform on local cable stations, and even grace the stage of the Jerry Lewis Telethons multiple times. A truly remarkable moment in her career was performing at the White House for Former President Ronald Reagan. But recently, she faced a devastating challenge: glaucoma has robbed her of her sight, leaving her blind. Due to this she is no longer able to work a traditional job and must depend on her talent to make a living. Despite this profound loss Loria’s spirit remains unbroken. Her love for music, her desire to share her gift with the world, has only grown stronger. She refuses to let blindness silence her. Loria’s dream is to create a professional demo, a collection of songs that showcase her incredible talent and unwavering spirit. This demo will be her way of reaching a wider audience, connecting with fellow music lovers, and proving that blindness is not a barrier to artistry. However, recording, producing, and distributing a demo requires financial resources. We need to raise $10,000 to cover: *Studio time: Recording her vocals and instrumental tracks. $50-100 an hour *Mixing and mastering: Ensuring a high-quality sound. Price varies *Microphone Starting at $100 *Demo distribution: Getting her music heard by industry professionals. *Assistive technology/transportation: Covering costs for transportation to the studio and assistive technology to help with the recording process. Your generous donation will not only help Loria achieve her dream, but it will also send a powerful message of hope and resilience. It will show that even in the face of adversity, passion can prevail. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference. Please help Loria share her voice with the world.
