Dear friends and family,

As you know, I have recently lost my mother, Lita Aguilera, to lymphoma. She was my best friend and my world.

In the midst of the struggle of her recent passing, the complete weight of the finances has fallen on me alone. I was in college and working, but I must admit, my main focus has been on my mother, to be with her through the doctor appointments and treatments.

I am going back to work, and my goal is to work hard and become a passionate and successful violin teacher.

Simply, I would appreciate some encouragement in starting my new life, and for pushing my future forward, while keeping her dream and mine alive. Anything is appreciated.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Maya
