Help repair Finn's family violin

If you have made it far enough to read this, thank you

              I have owned my antique family violin for 10 out of the 18 years I have been playing music. It is a beautiful, priceless instrument and it has brought me an identity, a livelihood, and so many unforgettable connections.

               Since moving to Prince George, BC, the cold, dry weather has warped the wood and agitated the binding strength of the glue. The neck popped off and multiple cracks appeared throughout the body. In order to restore it, I have brought it to the care of the Rococo Violin Shop. It is in good hands, but the restoration is a complicated and lengthy process, not to mention an extremely expensive one.

                 I am a full-time student and the only income I have is from teaching violin lessons. I do not want to burden my family with the costs. If you have helped me in my musical journey thus far, I appreciate your place in my life. Any amount would help and I you can know that you have supported a lifelong love of music and I will be forever grateful for the help.

                 Once I raise $2,427.00 CAD, I will have the money withdrawn to my Canadian bank account, at which point I will be able to pay the Violin Shop directly via etransfer. Approximately $80 CAD will be withheld by GoFundMe, which is why I changed the goal from $2,363 to $2427. 

thank you,
Finn
