Single donations of a few dollars, when combined, quickly turn into hundreds of dollars. We thank you for your generosity.

I want to thank you with all my heart for the incredibly generous donation of funds you made to me at the end of last year when I received my breast cancer diagnosis and my life came to a screeching halt. The funds helped me get through a very challenging time and relieved the stress I would have otherwise experienced about finances without your timely assistance.

The fund is a fantastic thing for performers to have access to as it is the nature of our industry to be freelancing and we all know how elusive work can be at the best of times – and when we are not working we are not earning. Not all industries would understand the inherent difficulty in the nature of our business.
