Bring More Music to Mercy Home

Mercy Home is near and dear to us. As a board member and staff member and long-time supporters, we are running in the United Airlines NYC Half on Sunday, March 17th to raise money for music therapy at Mercy Home.

Music is therapeutic and soothes the soul. One of our residents, *Carol loves tambourines; when she plays she's transported, and her mood instantly changes. A new tambourine would provide her with renewed pride and would add to the joy of music making. Making this an even better experience for her and other members of the band. At Mercy Home, we help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities learn fine-motor skills and deal with sensory processing through music therapy.

Music therapy helps to improve everything from speech to memory and physical balance. It also provides emotional healing, assisting residents in developing positive self-image and aids in prioritizing stress and pain.

That's why we are running in the marathon, and that's why we hope you'll support Mercy Home with a donation. Your donation will do a lot of good. Just take a quick look at Franz from Melodic Soul's recent performance.
