My Violin Is This Family's Fishing Pole
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Ricky. I am a struggling father from Utah. I'm looking to make money for my family after loosing my job. I have a 1 year old at home and this year we lost so much, including our apartment and vehicle. We are relying on the support of close friends to survive at the moment. I do have work coming in the near future doing marketing from home. But the process is slow to build and we are struggling now.
I do have a way to make extra money on the side, but I really need an investment for gear. I am looking for an investment to purchase battery powered pa speakers, and other gear that will allow me to put on a concert for people anywhere I go. I really need to be able to upgrade my system to be portable. A system that I can run even if power isn't available. A system that I can travel with by bus.
I would like to share new music with the world as I VJ with my violins. I have an end goal in mind that would make my set an innovative mix of fusion and visual elements, with my violins and vocals showcased.
Above all, I need to secure the living situation for my spouse and kids. It's hard to bring a plan to fruition when we are struggling to survive everyday. We realistically need so much more than what I am asking for. But I have a YouTube series in mind that may just secure our future. Please stay tuned! I would happily accept any donations in the form of gopro cameras or audio gear.
I want to mention here that I do not plan to share my go fund me with my Facebook friends and family from the local area. I plan to use my marketing skills to reach out to the internet as a whole. I want to earn these donations through hard work and perseverance.
I will get my family through this, and I want to begin documenting this journey with the world this upcoming 2025. I will be posting videos busking across the state, as well as giving viewers peaks into the writing process as new music is released.
I want to tell you that if you donate money to me, you are not only buying my family dinner. You are helping me get the equipment I need to make sure my family doesn't have to go hungry when things get hard. I know I can at least earn my family enough money for dinner simply by finding a crowded place, and playing my violin. Please help me purchase some of the gear I need to put my act together.
Thank you sincerely for taking the time to consider the needs of me and my family. I'll see you on my YouTube channel.
