Proceeds received from the sale of Songs For Everyone (shipped from Canada to the US as a duty free item) will be given back to communities based on the objectives of An Aid to Help Foundation's mission to provide encouragement and resources to educators, students, parents and families on ways to learn or teach others to make responsible choices in life.
Samantha Michael and her aunt, Gisele Microys, MD were inspired to create An Aid to Help Foundation after Samantha was almost killed by an impaired driver when she was a teenager. Hearing her family speak from strength in telling Samantha's story will hopefully be meaningful to others. Samantha feels that many things contributed to her remarkable recovery, with music being one of the major tools. This inspired her to create a music CD to help raise funds for the mission described above. The variety of pieces of music she chose for the CD are of a slower tempo for the enjoyable relaxation of body and mind (watch the Health Benefits of Music video on this page for more info, 3:09 minutes). Songs For Everyone can be used by people of any age in a number of ways - background music to work or study, music to go to sleep, listen to with family, etc.

You also will learn how for Samantha this Foundation is in her own way a tribute to the late Princess of Wales who visited her while she was in a children's rehabilitation hospital in 1991. Lady Diana's philanthropic approach, specifically with children, has been a major inspiration for Samantha.
