<div>Help Nathan Carrington Represent Mississippi in the 2026 Lions All-State Band
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Dusti Carrington, and I’m the proud mom of a young man who was never supposed to make it this far — but did. And then kept going.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My son Nathan is a 15-year-old freshman at Northwest Rankin. At just 15, he earned 12th chair trumpet in the 2026 Mississippi Lions All-State Band — the highest-ranking high school band in the state and one of the most competitive youth music programs in the entire nation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Only a small handful of students make the cut each year.
</div>
<div>Nathan did it his very first time auditioning.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But Nathan’s journey to this moment hasn’t been typical.
</div>
<div>It’s been a fight. And he’s won every single round.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div>Why Nathan’s Story Is Different
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At age 3, Nathan was diagnosed with ASD.
</div>
<div>Doctors told us he would struggle socially, creatively, academically — that he would always be behind. They said he would never “keep up” with other kids.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They were wrong. Every single one of them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nathan picked up a trumpet, and something clicked. Music gave him a voice, a place, and a future. He grew confidence. He found discipline. He found his passion.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Last year, as an 8th grader, Nathan was the only middle school student in his entire school chosen for the Natchez Honor Band Clinic. That’s when I realized he wasn’t just “talented.”
</div>
<div>He was exceptional.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He worked harder than anyone.
</div>
<div>He practiced relentlessly.
</div>
<div>He pushed through challenges most people never see.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, he has earned a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity — a spot in the world-traveling 2026 Lions Band.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Where He’s Going
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Lions Band doesn’t just rehearse and play in Mississippi. They tour New Orleans, Hong Kong, Honolulu, and more. The trip includes:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Full training week
</div>
<div>• Uniforms, shirts, backpacks
</div>
<div>• Travel to and from New Orleans
</div>
<div>• International flights to Hong Kong
</div>
<div>• Flights from Hong Kong to Honolulu
</div>
<div>• Flights back to New Orleans and home
</div>
<div>• All meals
</div>
<div>• All housing
</div>
<div>• Hong Kong Disney
</div>
<div>• Performances and concerts across multiple countries
</div>
<div>• A once-in-a-lifetime experience a kid never forgets
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is the kind of opportunity that shapes careers, builds leaders, and opens doors most families only dream of.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div>Nathan’s father and I are each responsible for half of the total $5,475 cost. Covering my portion on a tight timeline is extremely challenging, which is why we’re fundraising to give him this opportunity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Broken into payments due between:
</div>
<div>• Dec 15, 2025
</div>
<div>• Jan 15, 2026
</div>
<div>• Feb 16, 2026
</div>
<div>• Mar 16, 2026
</div>
<div>• Apr 15, 2026
</div>
<div>• May 15, 2026
</div>
<div>• Jun 10, 2026
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every payment is required. If one is missed, Nathan loses his spot.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He’s worked too hard, overcome too much, and earned too big of an honor for money to be the reason he doesn’t go.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This isn’t a vacation.
</div>
<div>This is a young man has been defying every expectation he was given at age 3 — and proving that talent, grit, and heart are stronger than any diagnosis.
</div>
<div><br />

Help Nathan   Represent MS  in the 2026 Lions Club Band

Madesta Carrington

<div>On January 31, 2026, my dear friend Dusti lost her home in a devastating fire. This was the house where she rebuilt her life from the ground up. It was a place of hard-won stability and safety for her and her sons. Now it is gone, along with everything inside it, including the belongings her sons kept in their bedrooms and throughout the home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While we are deeply grateful that everyone is safe, Dusti is now facing the overwhelming reality of starting over from nothing for herself and her children — again. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dusti is one of the most resilient people I know, but resilience doesn’t make this any less exhausting. She is a single mother with a limited income, and this fire didn’t just take her home — it also destroyed her only vehicle. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To make this even more difficult, Dusti did not have renters insurance, leaving her without a financial safety net as she begins the long process of rebuilding. Even now, Dusti is focused on creating stability for herself and her sons as she navigates the long work of rebuilding. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds raised will go toward immediate necessities for Dusti and her sons (clothing, shoes, toiletries), replacing basic household items, transportation needs following the loss of her vehicle, temporary living needs, and work-related essentials as she gets back on her feet. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She has had to rebuild her life from the ground up more than once, so this truly couldn’t have happened to a stronger or more resilient person. Still, it is incredibly difficult to watch someone who has already worked so hard be forced to start over yet again.
</div>
<div>I know so many of us are in need right now, but any amount — no matter how small — will help.  Sharing this fundraiser is just as meaningful. Thank you for supporting Dusti and her family during an unimaginably difficult time.
</div>
