Hello everybody!
First of all, Uncle Dave, your post was perfect and explained how everything came together just right! Thank you for acknowledging my family's story as well as my love and passion for music!
The events that unfolded in this last week happened so fast and I am so thankful that you took the time out to explain it to us. When I read your post, it meant a lot, especially to me, because you showed me the entire picture of how this all came together. To be honest, I am speechless. I do not know what to say, but I'll try to express how I feel with the words that are gathered in my heart.
This is truly a miracle! My thanks goes out to all of you who contributed, whether it be encouragement or a supportive comment or even a hand in the contributions for my keyboard!
This has impacted my life
deeply and I will remember what you have done for me and
never forget it.
Also, I leanred a lot of things that I did not even know about in Uncle Dave's post. I had no idea of how fast the contributions were offered until I read Uncle Dave's post! Everyone who contributed, again through support and encouragement or through contributions, is a special person. I really mean that. Like Uncle Dave also said, I am
very proud and glad that I am a part of this forum. You all are an example to me and I will follow in your footsteps. Thank you!
Right now, as I type, I feel so overwhelmed. My family and I have been talking about this in the last week or so, discussing how our dreams are going to be finally fulfilled! This keyboard is not only for me, but for my family as well. I want you to know that you all have impacted my entire family's life - you have given us insight of how the world still has loving, kind, sincere people who really care and are willing to share their love in order to help someone. This also really means a lot to my Mom, who does not have the money to buy a keyboard for our family.
Sure, maybe my eyes have teared up a little over the past week, but I might not be able to hold back my tears when I actually see the keyboard on my family's front porch! My family has given thanks and recognized all that you have done for us, we are just speechless!
I am so thankful for everything. When I learned that not only the forum community had helped, but Yamaha as well, I was in shock! You all out here on the forums are just amazing - I had know idea that Yamaha was out here on the forums. What amazes me the most about this entire thing is the fact that none of you expect something in return. Of course, I know you expect to hear some music from me, as well as my brothers, and we will not let you down!
When we get the chance, we will let you know when our first compositions out complete!
Also, thank you Yamaha for donating that keyboard!
Yamaha has showed me that not only people have hearts, but massive corperations as well! Your instruments give musicians the opportunity to express their musical gift and through your donation, you have made my dream come true! Thank you Yamaha! I will never forget what you have done for me, Yamaha, and I want to thank you for your dedication, devotion, and sincerity towards the music industry as a whole!
About the Keyboard: Not only am I getting one of the best keyboards in the entire world, but I guess I am getting a stand, vocal and PSR740 survial kits, and a padded carry bag too?! This is just unbelievable. The main reason I am out here on this forum is to learn and seek important advice from experienced musicians like you, but, within one week and without any signs, I am getting an entire 'studio' setup! This
is a miracle!
Trust me, I, along with the rest of my family, are thrilled to know that we are receiving this from loving people like you. We will use the keyboard for a good purpose and never take advantage of what has been given to us. [img]

We plan to compose all sorts of music and spread a good message with this keyboard. Also, I am not aiming for fame, but I want to be like you guys who are out here on the forum. I want to spread a good message, give people hope, and show them the truth through my music. If I can just reach out and touch just one person's heart, just as you have done, I will be completely satisfied.
Phew! I cannot say enough to thank you all, but I am going to have to end this post before I get too carried away. I am sorry if I left out something - so much has happened in the last week that I am sure that I have forgotten something. If I did, I'll try to recognize it in another post and give thanks. [img]
http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/wink.gif[/img] I'll also be sure to respond to all of your comments when I have the time...and I will be sure to let you know when we receive the keyboard (along with all the other AWESOME stuff), I am so excited I just can't hide it! LOL! [img]
