  1. Hi, my name is Shelley Homeister and I am the
  2. creator of the Sound for Souls Music Festival.
  3. And today I'll be telling you a little bit more
  4. about that and what we do, who we are and
  5. what we want to do more of in the future.
  6. Start out what is Sound for Souls.
  7. So Sound for Souls is a yearly music festival that
  8. is thrown on in all of the profits will go
  9. towards immigrant Children who are left here in the States.
  10. The emission of sound for Souls that sees people's you
  11. love of music vessels to help raise money for these
  12. Children who are having to represent them themselves in a
  13. court of law.
  14. Now, these Children are often left alone.
  15. They lack resources and they need rehabilitation for none of
  16. which is their fault.
  17. Now we want to be able to provide these Children
  18. with proper legal counsel.
  19. Also just an emotional support and a place that these
  20. Children have somewhere to cry to break down and to
  21. be with If for whatever reason their parents are gone,
  22. they have someone they can talk to about that and
  23. not hold that.
  24. It a little more about the issue at hand here.
  25. Immigration has been a very sensitive topic for a very
  26. long time and that's completely understandable on both sides.
  27. But where do we stop looking at each other from
  28. demographics and looks rather than just human to human?
  29. And I think it's unfortunate that these kids are left
  30. here, whether their parents are deported, incarcerated or even death,
  31. it's not their fault and they should not be here
  32. by themselves and not know what to do next in
  33. their life.
  34. Now. Sound for Souls wants to be able to console
  35. these Children and not only just give them money, but
  36. help shape their future in this community and in this
  37. country and how they can make things different for themselves
  38. to not just what we do for them, donations for
  39. sound for souls goes towards these rehabilitation apartments, it can
  40. go to court fees, lawyer fees, you know, we have
  41. a lot of lawyers who volunteered to do things pro
  42. bono, but we do want to reach as many people
  43. as possible and with that comes the need of people
  44. to get paid Multiple success stories to us.
  45. And what we consider a success story is we make
  46. sure the child has been properly re homed, whether it
  47. is themselves, if they're 18 or if it's with a
  48. proper guardian, and we also make sure that proper guardian
  49. or that child has a proper income for their future.
  50. We also make sure to take the time that all
  51. affiliations with ice and other government organizations are handled.
  52. So this person is continuing with the clean slaves.
  53. We would rather help guide these kids than them try
  54. to figure it out in a world that they don't
  55. understand and for themselves and we are here to help
  56. them. Next, I'm going to talk about some community awareness.
  57. We recently had a tremendous donation from the rapper Jay
  58. Z and he really wants to continue working with us
  59. in the future and we loved that because he has
  60. so many talented artist partnered at his brand and they
  61. want to work to our festivals and all we can
  62. think about is how our fans are going to love
  63. that. And when you think about all the fans coming,
  64. you think about the revenue, you're thinking about the Children
  65. were going to be able to help and it's truly
  66. incredible all in all, there are multiple communities in America
  67. that lack access to resources that they could use to
  68. be successful in our society.
  69. And I think it's important to recognize that and that
  70. target and help the ones that we can.
  71. And on that note, America used to be known as
  72. the melting pot and people immigrated here happily and people
  73. enjoyed having that representation.
  74. So where did that go?
  75. And I don't think there's any better way to bring
  76. people together than by with a cross cultural factor like
  77. music and bring people together in a happy environment where
  78. they can enjoy themselves and you're also doing a good
  79. thing for someone else simultaneously.
  80. I just want to thank everyone for taking the time
  81. to watch this and to learn for learning about some
  82. for souls and getting to know the organization.
  83. I hope to talk to you soon and for more
  84. information on upcoming events in volunteer work ship.

  87. Thank you
