Help me pursue music!

My name is Mitchell Durbin. I am a Sophomore at Green Valley High School in Henderson, Nevada where I work in my Student Council and play tenor saxophone in the Symphonic and Marching bands that travel and perform.

For five years, I have been using a quality saxophone given to me by a family friend. Over the years, I have learned and evolved with this instrument and have become emotionally attached to it. However, I recently learned through a series of unfortunate events that this saxophone was reported stolen from a different high school about eight years ago, and I had no choice but to give it up.

I've looked at some options and the time is approaching to acquire a new replacement. Unfortunately, my family is not able to cover the cost of an instrument alone, so I would be enormously grateful for any donations that you could offer, because anything helps. It is a strong desire I have to keep pursuing my talents on this instrument and keep developing my love for music, but it cannot be done without an instrument I can proudly call my own. Please help me achieve what I cannot alone.

Thank you,

Mitchell Durbin
