This Foundation is personal and close to my heart after enduring 16+ eye surgeries since I was diagnosed with cataracts at the age of 12. The complications that followed led to ocular procedures to treat multiple retinal detachments in both my eyes, corneal transplants, glaucoma, and dislocated IOL, resulting in periods of months where I was totally blind.

Being able to turn to playing the violin and piano changed my outlook on life, motivated me to become a musician, and helped me realize that even if I was to go blind one day, I would still be a musician. I would still be an artist.  

This realization was life-changing for a young teen struggling with constant vision loss.​

About 1,500,000 Canadians today experience sight loss. The loss of eyesight causes a substantial social and economic toll for millions including significant suffering, disability, loss of productivity, and diminished quality of life. ​

With the proper resources and support from Sponsors, our Foundation will expose children to learning instruments such as piano, violin, guitar, and learning music without having to read music, empower them through regional outreaches, and encourage them through consistent and confident nurturing of their inner musical potential. 

The sky is the limit.
