A family from Villa Clara is seeking help to recover a trumpet that a child forgot after getting off a bus following their departure from the Vocational School of Arts (EVA), an instrument that is needed for them to continue their music studies.
The call was posted this Monday by Dairol López in the Facebook group Villa Clara y su Música, where he explained that his nephew carelessly left a Kong trumpet on the bus, and when they realized it, someone had already taken it.
«To the person who found it: we sincerely ask that, please, have a little consideration and think of the child who is behind that instrument», he wrote.
The family insisted that the trumpet goes far beyond its material value for the child.
"For some, it may simply be a trumpet, but for him it represents his studies, his effort, his hours of practice, his dreams, and his passion for learning music," López noted.
According to the account, the family is not seeking confrontations nor does it intend to point fingers at the person who took the instrument; they simply want it to be returned.
"We just want my nephew to be able to have his instrument back and continue doing what he loves so much: making music," she added.
Meanwhile, the family from Villa Clara is calling for the sharing of the post, hoping that the trumpet will be returned to the child.
God bless those who have the heart to return it, concluded López.
The post generated numerous messages of solidarity, and users began to share it in the hope that it would reach whoever has the trumpet.
How important it is to restore this child's dreams, expressed one person, while another asked to "support this child so that he can achieve his dream."
Other internet users recalled the sacrifice that obtaining a musical instrument can represent for a family today and expressed hope that it will be recovered.
There were also those who recommended providing more details about the trumpet and specifying the area where it was lost to facilitate the search.
A user connected to the music world expressed optimism and commented, "That shows up, there are few of us musicians."
But one of the most touching comments was from Yoan Ramírez, a resident of Miami, who offered to buy a trumpet for the boy and have it delivered to a family member or acquaintance so that it could be sent to Cuba.
In addition to the heartfelt plea for help, which signifies the importance of young people pursuing their dreams, this case highlights once again the significance of access to an instrument for children and adolescents studying music.
At the end of August, a community fundraiser allowed a drum set to be gifted to the young Cuban Jonathan Pellegrin Fonseca, after his talent for playing various instruments went viral on social media.
