Ezekiel's NYC trip

Donation protected
Hi,
My name is Ezekiel Mercado. This fall I performed in a world-premiere musical, "Chasing Rainbows- The Road to Oz," presented at the Flat Rock Playhouse in Flat Rock, NC. The director, Jeff Whiting, is a Broadway director. Mr. Whiting runs a summer program at the Open Jar Institute in New York City. Only 60 high school students from around the world are accepted into this program. I applied and was so excited to hear that I was invited to participate in this once in a lifetime opportunity.

I am asking your help to make this dream become a reality. I am one of six children and money is tight. The money raised will be used to cover the cost of tuition, travel expenses, and housing.  I am hoping to raise the full amount by April 24th, 2016. However, the Open Jar Institute is willing to give me a payment plan until June. 

Acting and musical theatre is my passion and I would love to pursue it as a career. It would be incredible to  work with Broadway professionals and grow in my abilities and knowledge. I will have the chance to audition in front of acting agents and Broadway directors. How amazing is that! 

I will be so thankful for any amount that you can contribute. You will be a blessing in my life and my desire for you is that you will be rewarded by God for giving. 

Gratefully yours,
Ezekiel Mercado
