Some lucky fans will be receiving Moira Dela Torre’s pre-loved electric guitar and art supplies, as the singer-songwriter announced her special giveaway amid the COVID-19 crisis.
The instrument Dela Torre is giving away is dear to her heart since it was her first electric guitar, which was gifted to her by her husband, Jason Marvin. Aside from the giveaway contest, she will also be selling some pre-loved items for charity, as per her Instagram post today, Aug. 15.
“At the height of everything that’s been happening, I found myself at a crossroad of feeling like I haven’t been able to give as much as I would want to and feeling anxiety rise from within me as 2020 threw us so many of its unwanted surprises,” she said.
The singer previously revealed that she had been suffering from anxiety attacks.
Dela Torre disclosed that she has begun learning to balance “helping others and taking care of my mental health.” Painting and learning to play an instrument are some of the therapeutic activities the singer discovered through the help of her cousin and her husband.
“What used to give them joy, they graciously shared with me and it helped hone my creativity and helped calm my anxieties,” she said.
The “Malaya” singer wanted to share this “new joy” in her life by giving away a bag she got from her travels filled with art materials, as well as the electric guitar.
Both giveaways, she said, “have helped me so much mentally and I hope that it might also help you find the calm I did.”
Those who are interested in joining Dela Torre’s giveaway raffle can visit her page in the online marketplace Carousell.
To win the items, one must answer the question “How will you make the best of this [gift/guitar] and what do you wish to achieve if you were chosen?”
The raffle contest will run starting today and end Sept. 5. The winner will be announced on or before Sept. 11, 11:59 p.m.
“I will also list items I have loved and know would bring joy to its new home and in return, I will use that money to further help those in need,” Dela Torre told her fans on Instagram.
All proceeds of the online selling endeavor will go to the nonprofit organization Silungan ng Pag-asa, which gives children in need of medical assistance a place to stay while they are undergoing treatment.
Dela Torre also gave away one of her acoustic guitars last year, as per her Facebook post on Oct. 22.
The singer handed out her guitar to “pass it on to a fellow dreamer.” /ra
