Lexsi for Miss California
Donation protected
In 2011, I was a contestant for the Miss California Pageant. 2 weeks before orientation, while out dining in Hollywood I became victim of a random assault. I was rushed to the hospital due to cuts I suffered from the plates and glass that were in the tables I was pushed into while they people were beating me. Not only were my Miss California dreams crushed, but I was also left with physcial, emotional, and finanacial scars. The group of individuals that attacked me were never identified or charged.
The last few years have been a very trying and challenging for me. I went through the healing process entirely alone, as I did not have any family near. I was not able to work for months and lost my car, my apratment, confidence and most importantly my drive.
Today, I am able to reflect on this incident and not be angered. I was blessed to see a side of myself that most do not get to discover. I learned how resilent I could actually be.
I have thought about competing in the pageant everyday since this happened to me and it is with great pleasure and happiness that I announce I will be competing in the 2016 Miss California Pageant.
Not only do I have to pay for the registration fees that are nearly 2,000$, I have to particiapte in numerous events throughout the entire year leading up to the pageant. Plus, you need to obtain a rigorous workout routine and strict meal plan, gown, hair, etc
I am working with the National Center for Victims of Crime to help others that have been through similar situations find physical, emotional, and financial support. I didn't know what lawyers to go to or any of the programs that victims had, and was not in a mental place to even deal with those tings on my own. I wish I would have known about NCVC back then.
I truly believe that this is something that I need to complete so that I can fully heal from what happened to me. I do not want my assailants to win. Thank you for anything you can give. 10, 100, 1,000 or even just a supportive prayer.All donations are greatly appreciated and even if you can't donate 5$ I ask that you please atleast spread this message for me. I hope that my story reaches others who have been victimized and they will be motivated to keep fighting for their dreams. I truly appreciate all positivity and support that is thrown my way, and want to say thank you one last time for aiding me in my pursuit of my dreams.
If you wish to be a non-monetary sponser (gown, swim wear, hair, etc.. ) please contact me at [email redacted] and we can discuss other ways to help.
Stayed blessed and stay loving,
