Jimmy Ochoa
plays piano.
Jimmy has no idea that people are listening to his piano songs again. Help us get to 1,000 listens on Spotify for each song to get his music monetized again — every penny will go toward his much-needed dental costs. It means a lot to me, and I'm sure it will to him, that you're here.
A note from Sarah
Hi — I'm Sarah, Jimmy's wife.
I'm secretly saving up $17,500 for an urgent dental procedure Jimmy needs, so he can eat without pain again. He's been recruited — without his knowledge — to help.
Jimmy is an amazing pianist. He has more songs that were never published (maybe once he knows about this, we can put them up — if people enjoy the ones he released a few years ago, before he got sick). I would love for people to hear these songs — and it would be so amazing if something he put this much love and effort into could help change his life.
Whenever one of his songs reaches 1,000 listens within the last 12 months, Spotify starts paying him for every play. It's just a couple of pennies each listen, but that can add up! A little bit of your time goes such a long way. If you're willing to add his songs to your playlists, or put them on in the background while you work, drive, or even sleep — that would be so amazing.
If you feel led to donate something to this project, there's an optional donation button below. I also update our progress every single day on Facebook and YouTube.
I've set up a counter below, so you can see how close we are to our streaming goal and how each song is doing…
Thank you so much for being here! It means so much to me that you're on this journey with us.

Every milestone, documented
I update the progress on how close we're getting every single day on Facebook and YouTube. You can find those links here:
I'm determined to find a way to fund this… somehow.
Press play tonight. Let it repeat. Tell one friend. That's how a smile gets fixed.
You're already helping. Truly.
Every stream nudges Jimmy's songs toward the 1,000-listen line where they start to earn. If you'd like to do a little more, you can chip in toward his dental procedure — but there is zero pressure here.
