Hi! My name is Ray and this fundraiser is to help ease financial strain while I recover from top surgery, and cover as much of the surgery as possible. As a trombone player, I can't perform for a couple of months while my chest heals. This means I'll be unable to make a significant portion of my income or take work I normally do. Any little bit helps. This is a surgery that I have been wanting for a long time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
