What do musicians say about NEMRF?

"Completely, utterly, totally blown away by the incredible support we’ve gotten from this fund set up by the New England Musicians Resource Fund! The knowledge that we will be financially stable in the short term brings us immense relief, especially as we navigate the emotional and physical challenges of a cancer diagnosis and the arduous treatments to come. Thank you doesn’t even begin to cover it, y’all. But from the bottom of our hearts…Thank You!!"--Jay and Alyssa, freelance musician couple

"My recording and teaching studio flooded twice in back to back weekends last December. My home insurance did not cover this type of flooding, so my wife and I found ourselves doing the reconstruction work ourselves, which put us both out of work for a few weeks. Thank you to the New England Musicians Resource Fund who reached out and offered critical help when they saw what happened." --Yahuba, percussionist and teacher

"I am incredibly grateful for the help I received from NEMRF due to an emergency situation. It has saved my sanity and provided much-needed stability and hope during a tough time. The entire process was flawless — I received the help in less than a week and was treated with kindness throughout the process. I look forward to being a donor some day." --Sara, singer/songwriter
