THANK YOU FRIENDS!

With your help, I have reached my goal of $1,200 to travel to Helsinki, Finland this summer! I could not have done this without your support and I am so lucky to have you.  

However, there is still MUCH that needs to be done to make this research happen. The goal I have reached will help me with airfare to Helsinki and back!

Further sources of funding are needed for:

Housing at the University of Helsinki

Travel to Turku, Finland to research at the National Sibelius Museum

Visit to Ainola- the home of Aino and Jean Sibelius

Copy and printing materials at the National Library.

Thank you for becoming a part of my project! I am greatly looking forward to it!

Thanks again and I can't WAIT to write all those postcards!
