Guitars for students

Hello!

I am so excited to tell you about one of our latest deliveries that we have been working on! We had a need come in from Farmwell Middle School for guitars. There are about 10 kids that need guitars to practice on at home but could not afford them. They are going to have to quit taking guitar if no guitars are found for them.

We had 2 guitars donated by 2 of our members for these kids to stay in music! One of our members is a guitar teacher and in our band at J10. He donated another 2 brand new guitars still wrapped in the boxes to take to Farmwell so 2 more children can stay in music. I received 2 wonderful letters thanking you all for donating.

"I wish you could have seen the look on the guitar teacher's face when I gave him the instruments. He is so-o-o thankful because these will directly benefit a child who would have to drop the course. These guitars are a "gift" that will keep on giving for years--the school will keep the guitars from year to year for the purpose of helping a student who would not be able to take the course otherwise. So please pass along our profound thankfulness to those donors."

"I about fell over when I came in this morning to see two brand new guitars waiting for me. I immediately took them to the guitar teacher and he just looked at them with his mouth open. The guitar teacher has just returned to say that he approached two students in need and told them that there is a guitar for them to borrow. He said, "you should have seen the smiles on their faces, you could just feel their joy."

I guarantee those guitars are greatly appreciated. Please, let the donor know the relief and happiness they are spreading."

We have found 4 total and are still looking for more if any of you know of anyone that has one to donate to Farmwell. They will take any instruments that you would like to donate. Please contact me at l2f@j10church.com if you know of any. Thank you all so much who are looking and a great big thank you to those who donated your guitars already! :)
