Because of her appreciation of our military she restored and painted a 100 year old Beatles themed piano for Habitat for Humanity's Veteran's Build. The piano was signed by both Ringo Starr and Sir Paul McCartney and sold for $98,000. This was enough to build a home for a Veteran.

Some fb pages had over 7 million hits.
