Jasmin Leigh wants to stay in LA

Hi beautiful people! I am Jasmin Leigh, a comedian and actor living in Los Angeles. Since I can remember, I have wanted to be an actress. I have worked in different industries but nothing fulfills me like acting or making people laugh. When I was small, my mother used to pay me a dollar to perform in front of her friends because I was the best dying child EVER. Your welcome, ma! ;) This is my art, my passion, my everything!
About 2 years ago I grew unhappy with my life. I lived in a nice neighborhood, I had a great job, and amazing friends but something was missing. My passion. Everyday I got up, walked my dog, went for a run, and went to work all day. But at night, I would drown myself in alcohol. I felt something was missing & I knew it was time for a change so last November I decided I wanted to move to LA and in early February, I did just that. It was by far the hardest thing I've ever done. I moved thousands of miles away from my family, friends & everything I knew to pursue a career in the art form I love most.
It has certainly been a challenging 2 years. I've been without a job, a phone, or a car & have kept trucking to auditions with a smile on my face & my faith in God. Even through the hardest of moments I know it was the best decision for me. I know I am meant to be here & I believe, with everything that I am, that I am going to make it. Unfortunately, bills are not paid on hopes & dreams. So I reached a point of despair & I called my sisters back home asking for help and their advice to me was to come back home. I'm a dreamer & I've sacrificed too much to go home now.
So here I am, raw & vulnerable, sharing my greatest insecurities with you because I need help because it's down to whether I will be able to stay in LA & pursue my dreams or not. Since living in LA, I have performed in countless comedy clubs, I've hosted shows, I've started my own production company with another talented actress and have already written and filmed our first project but in order to continue, I need money. I'm asking for you to fund three months worth of my expenses so that I may have the freedom to work solely on my art & give this my last real go at it. I'm asking for a chance and asking for you to believe in me. I know I have the work ethic, enthusiasm & motivation to succeed. I just need the time to do it. Please donate whatever you can. I'm not ready to give this up & just need this boost of confidence & money to get to a place where I can start surviving off my art. God bless you all! And thank you for believing in me!
