Buy Heather Berry Mabe an Autoharp

Donation protected

Heather Berry Mabe had her ORTHEY POP STONEMAN COMMEMORATIVE AUTOHARP in purple soft case stolen from her recently and I am trying to come up with a way she could get a quality replacement and due to the cost, I've resorted to gofundme.  

Originally this go fund me campaign was to raise money for a 2 bar Orthey Autoharp that was on Ebay and I did more research and found an Autoharp builder in PA that knew about the ad. He told me it was a 2 bar harp and Heather has a 3 bar harp. He went on to say that he knows George Orthey personally and that he knew of two Pop Stoneman Commemorative harp bodies in George Orthey's shop that he could build a Harp from since George is no longer able to build harps!
We discussed the overall cost that he needs to be able to buy George's body and complete the build to replace Heather's stolen harp with an EXACT replica of the Pop Stoneman Commemorative Autoharp that she had stolen!
So after build,fees, and shipping we are looking at $2280. I know this is more than the original goal but we also have more time to raise the money since we don't have to meet a bid on Ebay.
As a result, I have removed the Ebay ad link for the 2 bar harp and we will now be raising funds for Heather to work directly with Greg Schreiber personally to have a 3 bar harp built from the Pop Stoneman body that George Orthey still has in his shop!!!

The builders name that the funds will now go to is Greg Schreiber. Heather will be connecting with Greg very soon so they can work out the details of her new build!

 I ask that you continue to give to this cause for this wonderful person, our friend Heather Mabe. If you are not able to give, I ask that you try to share this link with someone you think could give. 
If you would like to see her perform she will be at my church, Trinity Community Church in Christiansburg,VA. on Sunday morning December 2nd so let's get this money raised so we can present this harp to her during her visit in Christiansburg Virginia if not sooner!
