Story
Some 5 years ago, at 9 years old, I first sang at the Rowans Hospice with Finevoice Academy. My mum explained what the hospice was for and why it means so much to residents and patients to sing there.
I remember meeting an elderly resident, called Brian, who won prizes in the afternoon raffle. He gave his prizes in appreciation of my singing and kept chatting with me. Sadly, mum had to explain to me why he wasn't there the next time I visited. Now, at 14 years old, I have still those prizes, a limited edition print of a painting of polar bears and a candle holder, as a special reminder of my performance that day. Another lady had tears of emotion, holding my hand, as she could no longer play the piano due to her illness, and I had brought her some music that day. My love of music continues, I now also play the piano and have since sung many times for the Rowans.
I want to share my singing and performing bringing happiness to others as I like to care for and help people.
Sadly, like most people, some of my family and a dear family friend have used your hospice, so I am keen to have this opportunity to continue to support this charity and bring some entertainment to people during these current, difficult times.
I chose this song as it challenges me and I feel it connects with your charity and the work you do. It translates to - "and the more I think of you".
Stay safe and thank you !
