Hi everyone, my name is Marcus, and I’m reaching out with something deeply personal. I’ve recently been accepted into my dream school—Berklee College of Music—and while this is an incredible blessing, it comes with a serious financial burden that my single mother and I are doing our best to carry.
My mom has worked endlessly—day in and day out—to give me every opportunity she could. She’s been my rock, my biggest supporter, and my inspiration. I’ve watched her sacrifice so much just to make sure I had the space to dream. Now that my dream is in reach, I want to do everything I can to take some of the weight off her shoulders.
She doesn’t complain. She doesn’t slow down. But I see her stress. I feel it. And I can’t sit back and watch her carry this alone. That’s why I’m asking for help—not just for me, but for her. Every donation, no matter how small, is a step closer to giving my mom a little peace and helping me walk into this next chapter with purpose and pride.
If you believe in the power of music, the strength of a mother’s love, or the dreams of a determined young artist, please consider donating or sharing this page. It means more than you’ll ever know.
With all my heart,
Marcus ❤️
