Hey friends,
So Like many of you i'm sure you are aware of the devastating disaster in Haiti this past week.
Like many of you i think alot of us want to get involved in changing the world around us but don't know how or think we are incapable. We see other people who seemed to have the right connections or who give their life to a cause and we can easily get the impression that a life commitment is required to do such things.
Honestly, my life goal is to change this world and impact this world for the better.
Most of you know i have been fortunate to travel the world and see some of the most heartbreaking situations and places. I have learned so much about other cultures and how people of the world live in comparison to how we do.
Someday, i plan on making more of personal impact than writing a check. But God has challenged me since this disaster while i'm stuck in America to be creative with how i impact the world. This is my current situation:
Right now i'm a recent college grad, broke no money, starting this music project and career. Like many people i've been lately stuck in the rut of a mindset that "i'll make an impact later".
We'll i've decided even in my need i'm going to help people who are in a greater need. "What you did to the least of these you did for me". So i would encourage you even if you don't have money help people around you, for we all have more then most people of this world, especially those in Haiti.
Here is my plan:
So half of all sales i make for this month i'm going to donate to relief efforts in haiti. It might not be much but i want to challenge people to be creative in their fundrasing, make it a personal life changing action not merely a single check written to take a tax break. I want others to be creative in their own mediums and figure out how they can help. My Uncle told me he is giving 50 cents of every bottle of olive oil he sells to the efforts. I want people to think out side the box and make helping people a lifestyle choice not a mere obligation or action of duty.
I'm in the process of working on the album and have been thinking about organizations i want to support when it is released so if you have any suggestions send them my way, and lets all make our lives purpose to help others, give your time, talents and resources.
See...by supporting my music and my career you are going to change lives by just clicking play. So spread the word about your Piano Rock n Roll friend from Missori
Here is the link to the organization the money is going to. I have personal connection with them. They have been in haiti long before this diaster and will remain long after. 100% of money sent to them will go where it needs to.
