Veterans Residential Music Program

Donation protected
My name is Jo-El Tapia and I am a volunteer Music Director at Veterans Village of San Diego (VVSD). My goal is to raise money for the Veterans Residential Music Program here at VVSD. 

I began to volunteer two years ago teaching music to veterans to better connect with the people in my own life who were struggling with substance abuse and mental health issues. I started out by using my own instruments and music supplies. As time went on, I began to notice that my class was growing and becoming more popular. Unfortunately, there weren't any funds to run the program. In spite of the lack of funds, I continued to support the program with as much as I could provide. I found myself turning away veterans that wanted this music program to be a part of thier recovery. I then began to realize how important this music program meant to them and their recovery. 

This music program has helped veterans maintain long term recovery for both mental health and substance abuse issues by providing a space to learn coping skills, build support and community. 

Each donation will help the Vetrans Residential Music Program to purchase supplies, books, musical instruments and cirriculum. My dream for this program would result in a full time program where all materials are provided for their success.  

Veterans Village of San Diego is a private non-profit organization 501(c)(3) Tax ID #95-3649525. All proceeds will help fund the VVSD Residential Music Program. 

Thank you and God bless,

Jo-El Tapia
