Buying "iPods for the Elderly"

I am a 14 year old old time, bluegrass and classical musician from the Crooked Road Music Region of Virginia. I am fundraising for nursing homes in and around the Blue Ridge Mountain area of Virginia and North Carolina. I believe that music can greatly improve the lives of elderly patients with Dementia,  Alzheimer's, and Depression. Some of the most honorable people are in nursing homes, unable to remember their earlier lives and unable to live the present. It has been proven that music can help bring back memories of past times, not only healing them, but also enriching their current lives. In the human brain, the area that holds memories is next to the part that processes music. The zone that holds our favorite music and musical memories is left untouched by Dementia and Alzheimer's. We have a goal to raise $2000.00 to buy 30 iPods and songs for seniors in nursing homes in low income communities. Please help us enrich the lives of these people who were once our mentors, friends, soldiers, and idols, and help them live in the present again!!!
