We are creating musical instruments for individuals with developmental disabilities to help foster mental well-being.
First and foremost,
thank you
Thank you. Music therapy is the clinical use of music to accomplish individualized goals, such as reducing stress and improving mood and self-expression. It is an evidence-based therapy that is well-established in the health community. Music and musical instruments are also a fun and energizing way to encourage activity.Musical instruments can be a tool to help individuals work on their cognition, communication, comprehension, focus, and fine motor skills. So, let’s rock out!
The Experience
We are passionate about supporting those with developmental disabilities and mental health challenges. We believe that providing them with the resources, support, and services they need to live fulfilling and purposeful lives is essential. We recognize that the challenges these individuals face can be significant, and we are committed to supporting them so they can actively engage with their chosen communities.
One of the ways that we can help these individuals is through music therapy. Music therapy effectively improves mood, reduces anxiety and stress, and promotes overall well-being.

Step 3: Shipping and return
Using the original box everything came in, add the completed kits and reseal. Attach the prepaid shipping label and schedule your USPS pickup. You can also drop your box off at your local post office. To schedule your pickup, simply use the following link and follow the steps: www.wehero.co/pick-up/

We’d love your thoughts!
Have 32 seconds? We always want to make these experiences better and would love your feedback.
Recycling is hard so we made this resource list to make it easier!
We build our volunteer events to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Whether it is offsetting the carbon emissions of the shipping process, using recycled cardboard for the boxes, or relying on algae based dyes, we’ve made conscious steps to ensure we’re doing right for our world.
