Benjamin's music school auditions

Hi - my name is Harry Richardson. My 18 year old son, Benjamin,  is a cellist and is auditioning for several music schools in the coming months, which will involve multiple plane trips to get to the auditions. This is expensive as it is, but we also have to deal with the additional cost of buying an extra seat for each plane trip for his cello. It is just too risky to have an expensive cello  in the baggage compartment of an airplane, due to cold temperatures and risks of damage from handlers. Therefore your generous contribution will help defray the costs of these trips, and help us to save money for the expensive college years ahead. Thank you so much in advance for your help!
