88 key digital piano for Merissa whose old one can no longer be tuned

Posted Nov 7, 2024
Merissa has been playing the keyboard for a decade, teaching herself the ins and outs of music since she was 13. Now at 23, she still plays almost daily, finding solace in the melodies she creates. However, the keyboard she’s relied on for so long is starting to show its age. The sound quality has deteriorated, with a weird vibrating noise that often mars her practice sessions. Despite this, she has always cherished this instrument, taking it with her wherever she goes as a beloved companion through times of stress and joy. Merissa wishes for a brand new keyboard—one that is upgraded and offers more than her current model, which only has 61 keys. With a better keyboard, she believes she could truly enhance her musicality and take pride in her performances. The thought of playing without the embarrassment of the broken sounds is incredibly important to her. A new keyboard would not only provide her with a richer sound but also open up new opportunities for creativity and expression. She wants to elevate her passion for music and feels that a quality instrument would help her achieve that dream.

Merissa is 23 years old and lives in CA

Merissa is a dedicated individual who was placed in the system along with her siblings. She wants to provide for her younger brother and help him achieve success. Merissa aims to show her siblings that they can overcome challenges and accomplish their goals. For a long time, she believed she wasn't worthy of amazing things, but now she wants to demonstrate her value. She desires to take all the hardships she has experienced and transform them into something positive, advocating for others along the way. Merissa has stepped out of her comfort zone to pursue her passions. Some of her favorite activities include learning to play musical instruments, crocheting, baking, and cooking. In five years, she envisions herself having a master’s degree, stable housing, a more reliable car, and a job in resources or a similar field.
