SUMMARY:Support #GivingTuesdayNow
DESCRIPTION:Please support Children’s Music Fund on #GivingTuesdayNow which takes place on May 5\, 2020. It is a designated day of giving for people around the world to stand together in unity and use their individual power of generosity to help nonprofits in need resulting from the COVID-19 crisis.\n\n\nOur Music Therapy programs in hospitals were temporarily halted due to the recent COVID-19 restrictions. In order to preserve our mission\, we quickly transitioned our sessions to Telehealth Music Therapy. Little Emma\, a four-year old child\, is our first CMF Kid to receive online music therapy sessions. Read more about her story.\n\n\nRead about her health journey and how she is experiencing a better quality of life and honor this day of giving. Your donation of any amount will provide Music Therapy services to these vulnerable children\, bringing them joy and desperately needed social interactions. Help a child heal through music today. Thank you for your generosity and support.
