A 12-string guitar for Miguel to replace the one he lost

Posted Oct 25, 2024
Before Miguel entered the care system, he held a well-loved guitar close to his heart, a constant companion that resonated with his dreams and emotions. When he had to leave it behind, it felt like a piece of him was lost. Yet, rather than letting this setback extinguish his passion, Miguel’s love for music only deepened. He dedicated himself to teaching himself the guitar, pouring over countless tutorials and performances on YouTube, his determination unwavering. With each strum and chord progression, his spirit soared. When he talks about his dream of playing alongside the church choir, his eyes sparkle with a light that speaks volumes about his aspirations. He carries within him a heartfelt hope to one day share his music with a community, believing that his melodies could uplift others and create a sense of belonging. Every note he learns is a step closer to the moment he can contribute his talents and enrich the lives of those around him through the power of music. Miguel doesn’t just want to play; he yearns to connect, inspire, and spread joy, turning his dreams into reality for himself and others.

Miguel is 14 years old and lives in NC

Life has been challenging for him, but he has shown remarkable resilience over the past few months. His sweet nature shines through as he is always eager to lend a helping hand. He enjoys attending church and loves contributing to the music there, finding joy in both the community and the upliftment it brings.
