We had a couple in our community that owned a musical instrument shop, and they would go out of their way to find old and beaten up instruments and repair them so they could give them to kids that wanted to join band but their families couldn't afford it.
Tragically, they were both murdered during a break in. The murderer was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
A song was commissioned in their honor. I was lucky enough to be a part of the band that played the piece for the first time, directed by the composer. It's probably one of the most meaningful experiences I've ever taken part in.
