Cj's Future
I am asking for help today for my son. He has dedicated his life to his craft. Cj has done some exciting things, he performed in Guys and Dolls, Arsenic and old Lace, Willie Wonka, Fame, Hairspray, Jeckyl and Hyde. He recently did a Cabaret on Broadway singing Sant Fe. When he graduated from high school he was headed to Virginia to go to college. We visited the school and everything. Then 1 week before he was suppose to leave he came to me and said "Mom" I cant go to Virgina I need to be in New York, it is where my heart is telling me to go. I was shocked and scared, but I always told my kids follow your dreams so you will never have any regrets. So he packed up and moved to New York.He moved in with his best friend ,sleeping on the couch. Since he has been in New York he has acomplished more than some who have been there for years. Now most people would say I am Predjuidice because he is my son, and maybe that is true,but this kid has talent and he deserves to be there. He works hard.He works for Staples during the day and then volunteers at different theater productions during the night. He dont care as long as he is involved in something to do with theater. My plight today is he wants to go to Neighborhood Playhouse for school,but we are short on funds. If anybody deserves this he does. At 19 to take on his dreams and not look back is inspiring to me. It took alot of guts to leave home with nobody to depend on but yourself to hit those streets of New York looking for that dream on Broadway. I thank you in advance for any help you may offer.It's expensive to live in New York. So he has to work to pay rent and eat, besides trying to raise the money for a school he surely belongs. "His Mom". P.S if you feel like you want to help,you can also send the mone to the school . i know some people are not comfortable with giving money to begin with but this truely is for cj to go to school.
