GoFundMe: 5 Year Old Buffalo NY Girl in Desperate Need of Help after Delaware Park Car Crash Tragedy

Stephanie Suffered Brain Trauma after Buffalo Tragedy
A couple of weeks ago a Buffalo family was struck by a car at Delaware Park. This family is part of our Homeschool group. The little boy Max died and Stephanie, a friend of Eva's, is going to go through intense therapy because of serious brain injury. She's only 5. The family was able to raise some funds for funeral/hospital costs, but Stephanie's injuries are extremely severe and will require longterm care. 
Support for Stephanie's Recovery: GoFundMe 
They have created a new GoFundMe page just for Stephanie's recovery. Right now the father will have to go back to work to start paying bills while Stephanie is going to a special rehab facility in Pennsylvania. Mary, their mom, is staying with Stephanie and needs so much prayer. Please lift this family in prayer, support them if you can, and share with friends. If you own a local business that would like to help the family please consider sponsoring the family!
And please remember to hug and cherish the ones you have in your lives. Life is too short.
Thank you,
Sabrina
Tragedy in Delaware Park 

Mary and Wally found out today that Stephanie may be accepted into a wonderful rehab facility in Pennsylvania that can address her brain injury. They will have to essentially live in Pennsylvania for six weeks. With this news comes the heavy concern of money. 



We all know, no matter how good your health insurance, an enormous battle like this is going to leave a devastating financial wake for this family. 


Wally is afraid that he will not be able to accompany Mary and Stephanie to the rehab facility because he will have to take an unpaid leave from work and the day-to-day bills won't get paid. 


With Love and Gratitude to each and every one of you." - Karen Whaley

MORE INFO:
"The story starts on May 30th when my dear friend Mary is walking through the park with her two amazing children. A car on the Scajacuada Expressway jumps the curb, crosses the grass median, and hits both children. Maksym is killed. Stephanie is critically injured. 
The Buffalo community rallies, change is made, and support for this family is overwhelming. 
This story is far from over.
As we go back to our day-to-day lives, the Sugorovskiy family, who just laid little Maksym to rest, has only just begun on a long road to recovery with Stephanie.
The local news tells us that Stephanie is expected to make a full recovery but that really only makes light of her condition. In reality, when a little girl gets hit by a car moving at 50 mph it's not just broken bones that need to heal. Stephanie's brain has sustained a shearing injury and it is going to be a long time before this beautiful little girl is back to playing, painting, dancing and soccer. But God willing, she will do all those things again.

The ambulance ride alone to the rehab facility could cost them over $20,000. 
It is heartbreaking to think that this family won't be together during this battle. 
The Sugorovskiy family has been so incredibly thankful for all of the support during this trying time. I'm sure they wouldn't dream to ask for one penny more so I am asking for them. 
Please know that every single dollar makes a difference and is appreciated more than you can imagine. And please, whether you can support financially or not, please take the time to share this page. Sharing far and wide will make a huge difference.

Music Secrets: How to Write an Opera, Part 1

Feel like writing an opera is only for big name composers with big budgets? Or are you willing to take the plunge and create a work in one of the most compelling and cutting edge musical forms...an opera? Almost two years ago I embarked on the largest musical production I have created to date -  Libertaria: The Virtual Opera. After writing the award-winning Creation Oratorio and dozens of multimedia works, I wanted to combine my love of the audio and the visual into a single large scale work.  Find a Great Dramatic Story You need a strong story to write a compelling opera. Fortunately you can easily borrow from thousands of public domain works and modernize them. Think of West Side Story (just a contemporary version of Shakespear's Romeo and Juliet) .   Many great operas use Shakespeare, the Brothers Grimm , and Biblical stories, all of which include interesting characters, strong themes, and action.   Libertaria borrows heavily from messianic stories, but is se

What Skills Do You Need to Become a Songwriter?

What Skills Do You Need to Become a Songwriter?  Becoming a successful songwriter is the dream of many musicians. But knowing how to write a song , learn an instrument, and make a successful musical career can seem impossible. Well, it does take a lot of work. Not everyone that wants to be a professional musician will succeed, and many just enjoy writing songs as a fun hobby for their enjoyment.  Do I need to Sing or Play a Musical Instrument? This might seem like a simple question, but it actually has a complicated answer. Why? Some songwriters never learned a single instrument yet can come up with great lyrics and catchy melodies. Others have played piano or guitar for years or are trained singers. So what is the answer?  As a songwriter, you need to understand different aspects of the songwriting process. That doesn't mean you have to have an incredible voice or be the best guitar player on the block. What it does  mean is that you need to know music. There is no better

Free Classical Sheet Music and Free Opera Downloads @ Scribd

Sheet Music (Photo credit: jayneandd ) Awhile ago I decided that I would upload the bulk of my music scores and sheet music to sites like Scribd, the Petrucci Music Library , and Archive.org for free sheet music downloads. Some musicians told me that it was ridiculous to give away my music. The truth is that I don't depend on music publishing sales of my scores, and I would rather inspire a young piano student, percussion ensemble, opera singer, grandma, bored music student, or music teacher to play and study my music than hold on tight to my copyrights and let my music scores collect virtual dust on my hard drive.  The Petrucci Library, Scribd, and Archive.org all have dozens of free music scores available for choir, vocal solos, piano, percussion, orchestra, opera, multimedia works, and more. You can see a short list of available free sheet music by checking out the Scores page. You might want to check out scores to my modern opera Libertaria: The Virtual Opera , an ex

Music Secrets: How to Write an Opera, Part 2 After the incredibly positive feedback that I had from Music Secrets: How to Write an Opera, Part 1 , I thought I would talk a little bit about the composition angle of writing, at least how I do it in regards to vocal music . Here's a quick primer for anyone learning some of the basics of writing vocal music for opera, musicals, classical music , etc.  1. The Sketch I have had several great teachers in my life - Dr. Clare Shore , Hilton Jones, Dr. Kristine Burns, Paul Reller , Dr. Frederick Kaufman, Dr. Orlando Garcia, Chuck Owen, etc. My composition prof (and USF SYCOM guru) Paul Reller helped me develop the composition technique that I have had for years.  Download the Libertaria: The Virtual Opera Soundtrack at iTunes When I have the time to go through the entire composition process (because sometimes I have to skip a step or two for deadlines), I will start out with pencil, paper, and a piano (or keyboard, in my case).
