Help Ariel to IMTA in New York

I am Ariel Fay Gray.  An amazing opportunity has come my way. 
     I have been invited to attend the International Model and Talent Association's showcase and competition in New York, NY, July 2015.  I will have the incredible opportunity to show my love of performing  in front of hundreds of entertainment agents and managers from all over the world.  After the week long event, I will meet those agents and managers who are interested in my talent and hopefully begin my journey to pursue my acting career.
     "Magic always comes with a price," and to bring my magic to life, I need to physically travel to/from and stay in NY for 1 week.  This is where I need your help, please!  To afford daily life with my adorkable 2 year-old princess and this investment in my dreams, I have worked 3 part-time jobs.  What is priceless to me is the opportunity to show my daughter, that dreams are not a burden.  I need my daughter to know, "Our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them."
      If you know me, you understand that being on stage is what I love to do. I love to sing, dance, and make people laugh. What I love most is connecting with individuals and inspiring them to keep moving forward. I am a giver and love giving hope and joy to people through entertainement. If you know me, you also understand I often put others' needs and wants over mine. I am humble and loyal. I've spent my life up until now doing and being what is neccessary to be "successful" in this life.
      My "dreams" of acting have always been a hobby. I never believed it was for me. However, after Daddy died in 2013 at the age of 45, I thought, "What if I only have 20 more years to live? What am I doing living like this?" It was then I heard that familiar spot on G105 asking me if I wanted to be on TV.  Last year I took a chance on myself.  I joined ModelandTalent, an entertainment scouting agency, made some excellent friends and connections, and have been creating a plan to begin working in commercial and voice over.
     Are you living your dream? Thank you for reading!
Sincerely,
Ariel Fay Gray
