New England Needs A Winner. Help Me Get The Crown

To all my friends, Facebook friends, family, drag families, brothers and sisters, allies and supporters, fans and followers, I wanted to say good morning, good afternoon, and or good evening. For all of those who follow any of my pages weather as friends, drag professional reasons, family or just need of some inspiration or uplifting I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Continuing to support my reasons in this passion I have for fighting and striving for equality and support for the transgender community in our country. I feel like I have worked long and hard here and New England and shown my strength in so many ways being an open visible transgender male advocate to help educate, support and network transgender visibility and a quality for the past 15 years. It's time for me to step up, to stop doubting and kick this door wide open. I need to stop the fear and show not just my home state, My Chosen state, or New England but the entire country what I still can do, and most importantly prove the words and actions I have said and made become a reality. I began volunteering at the age of 12 with an organization called Bagly which is a youth LGBT safe social support group an organization where I was able to be one of the first helping create Boston's first youth open Forum meeting at the age of 16 mind you at the same time I was figuring out my own truth being a transgender man through that group. I became one of Boston's local drag Kings and continued as I transition. I used my king status as a platform to help other organizations and groups to become more transgender-inclusive. I volunteered to show inclusiveness as well with the so gay so what campaign in New York City as their first trans male model to help show what trans really looks like underneath all these clothes we wear. Literally using all I had to continue this passion to challenge my body and mind to compete in the first Ft m bodybuilding competition veing one of the onky pre opp top. I I wasn't scared then ( just extremely anxious) so I shouldn't be now. I'm putting this GoFundMe up now because I was able to get as much done on my own and now I do need a little bit more support from the community. As you all know I have been more located in the Boston area but I do travel frequently between brother and sister States like Manchester New Hampshire and Providence Rhode Island. People are wondering why not Massachusetts to be honest it was my first state of choice but there was another person also and since I've been around and do have experience with other states I chose to be Rhode Island. When I think of Boston and Rhode Island I think of New England I feel like all our state's kind of team up to help each other for representation to show how trans inclusive we are throughout New England. Im not getting any younger and it's time for my words and actions to start and help our community move forward in a positive direction and not just be heard and thrown on the ground like it has in the past. As I have been choosing to pursue this passion for years it took a lot of money and time to get through it. Like I stated previously I have been able to get through most of it but now I'm hitting a limit this is where I need your help between -Air fair =$400 -Room =$200 - Evening wear =$200 -Food and travel accommodation to venue =$150 I'm definitely not looking for all of it but my goal will be $1,000 My promise to you is that I will be donating certain amount of money to the Rhode Island youth Pride committee in RI and Bostons Bagly Youth organization in MA. If I reach my goal to $1,000 , $200 will go straight to the organization's $100 to each one, if it's under that I will find $50 to each one no matter what. This is just to help get me by I really hope that I get your love and support also your trust to know how much I really need to get this push out there to be able to start doing everything I've wanted to since I was 15 and to also finally get a representation of New England in a national and show what the country is missing this will be the first time there's ever two people in New England running in a national I think it's time one of us deserves to win So much love and support!!!
