Portia's Going to LA!

Donation protected
Hi! My name is Portia Lewis. I'm a 25 year old cosplayer| model and fiber artist who's making that big courageous leap of faith and moving 3,000 miles from Baltimore, all the way to California! 


Here's the thing; I've been working so hard modeling, photographing and editing ALL of my shots. I've been noticed by the very actors that I'm recreating and because of that, oportunities have opened up! I've been asked to attend shows and conventions... but they're all on the West Coast :(  If anyone knows ANYTHING about LA, it's how EXPENSIVE it is.

But, this is so important to me! My uncle died right before I went to art school. He had many nicknames for me, but one of them was artist. He unfortunately was never able to see what I've become and how far I've gone in my art. His death shook my family, kind of broke it actually. But art was the one thing of him, that I kept alive. So now that I'm faced with an opportunity to truly be an artist and be that person he always saw in me, I have to do it! I'm scared of course. It's a new city 3,000 miles away from my family and friends, but I'm confident in myself, and my uncle wouldn't want me to give up on my potential just because of fear. 

Any donations you guys bestow upon me will help my transition to LA tremendously. It'll allow me to fully take advantage of these once in a life time opportunities. I welcome any amount because I am just so greatful to anyone who  would take the time to invest in me and my future.


I'm making the move in October (I know, so soon!) but the show's that I've been invited to start back up around that time and I need to be ready.

Thank you so much, everyone. Truly.
