Help Lorraine Play with an Orchestra in Italy!
Donation protected
Hi everyone,
My name is Mary Johnson, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my cousin and best friend, Minet, and her incredible daughter, Lorraine. I’m not just family—I’m also Lorraine’s doting godmother, and I’ve watched her grow into an amazingly talented young violinist with a gift that deserves to be shared with the world.
Lorraine has been given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform with an orchestra in Italy this May, and we need your help to get her there! This experience could be life-changing for her as a young Black artist, opening doors to a future in music that she has worked so hard to achieve.
But as a single mother of twin girls, Minet has done everything in her power to support Lorraine’s talent, and she shouldn’t have to do it alone. I’m asking for your help to raise $8,000 by May so Lorraine can take this incredible journey—and so her mother and twin sister can be there to cheer her on.
How Your Support Helps
Your donations will go toward:
Flights, lodging, and transportation for Lorraine, Minet, and her twin sister
Meals and daily expenses while in Italy
Concert attire and instrument care
Giving this family the chance to share in this momentous achievement
Minet has worked tirelessly as a mother, and Lorraine has poured her heart into her music. No child should miss out on an opportunity like this because of finances. If you believe in supporting young artists, in celebrating Black excellence, and in helping dreams come true, please consider donating—and share this fundraiser far and wide!
I know firsthand how much this would mean to Lorraine and Minet, and with your support, we can make it happen!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
Mary Johnson
(Proud Cousin, Best Friend, and Godmother)
