Hi, my name is Patrik Lundgren and I am a bluegrass artist from Sweden. I make a lot of free lessons on YouTube to help pickers of all levels with their playing. Unfortunately, free doesn't pay the bills.

Recently, I moved to a new place where I live alone and care for my kids part time. I was let go from my previous job which resulted in bills and rent that I cannot afford with my situation the way it is.

I have one thing of value left, my most sentimental thing in the world: my lovely Gallagher Guitar that my biggest hero, Billy Strings, played and signed. I tried selling it but my community talked me out of it. Instead, all of my fans online told me to try a GoFundMe. So here I am.
