_        Every journey begins with a dream."   Harriet Tubman                                                                                                

There are not enough words in the world to express the gratitude I feel for the outpouring of support. This journey has been amazing & I am so honored to have you in my corner. So for lack of some clever way to express myself… This is just one more short note to thank all those on stage & off stage who came out & supported Avotcja’s Wheelchair Van Conversion Project Benefit May 18th @ Ashkenaz in Berkeley. Everyone was amazing & I am truly grateful. Thanks to you I have the Pink Slip & the Van & I’m almost there. I originally had to raise $3,508.50 for the Wheelchair lift conversion & thanks to miscellaneous donations, the benefits & donations @ The Malcolm X Jazz Arts Festival it’s now down to $1,350. So we’re getting closer, but still got a way to go. Every day a little closer, I’m beginning to see the light @ the end of tunnel! Please spread the word, with a little more help from my friends I’ll get there.
If you could not attend, but would like to donate Please write “Avotcja’s Wheelchair Van Project” on envelope & send checks or Money Orders to:

"If you want to awaken all of humanity then awaken all of yourself.  If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world,  then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself.  Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation"   Lao Tzu                 ,
