A LETTER FROM MVM PARENT, MARY NICHOLS

Mary’s son, Owen, at the 2015 Mississippi Studios Showcase

“I’m grateful I found My Voice Music, which has inspired my kids to write, record and perform music. My kids have all felt welcomed, supported and safe at My Voice Music. I feel good knowing I’m supporting a non-profit which was founded to work with youth in treatment centers, foster care and alternative schools. Because most of their programs are now open to the public, my kids are able to engage with kids from all over Portland, who are often struggling in ways my kids have not experienced. When I sign one of my kids up for a camp, I know that I am also paying for another child to attend the camp that wouldn’t have otherwise been able to. Music brings all the kids together, and My Voice Music allows me to pay it forward.”
