Review for The Art of Elysium, Los Angeles, CA, USA
I was looking for an organization to give my talents to in LA. I have been blessed and wanted to help others. I had no idea what I was asking for. When I met the Art of Elysium my life was changed. From the first time I played music at the Children's Hospital for kids that could not get out into the general assembly, I knew this was important. Some of the children are in a hospital bed all of the time and the costs can be so high that sometimes their folks can't always miss work to be by their side. AOE brings the music and arts to them. I have played music in room to room visits where the emotional outpouring of thankfulness was overwhelming. I have led song-writing workshops with children that if not for this great charity, may have never written a song. The therapeutic side of this gift is immeasurable as it gives the kids a voice, a way to show their friends and family how much they love and appreciate them. This is an amazing group filled with loving folks that care about others a great deal. Bringing love through music and the arts to children that other wise would not get this is an amazing gift.
