9 years ago a little girl living in one of LA's poorest neighborhoods started learning the violin. Now Mayte Castro has acheived an amazing goal. Mayte has been accepted into one of the most prestigeous music schools in the nation, Thornton School of Music at USC. https://music.usc.edu/departments/strings/   This fundraiser is to assist Mayte with the costs of attending USC. In these difficult times, any donation amount will be greatly appeciated, and rest assured that investing into Mayte's future will Pay-It-Forward many times over. Thank you!
