Jaylene Goodman's Story 

 Hi! I am Jaylene Goodman. I am representing girls/women with disabilities in Pennsylvania. I have a mission to empower others to “Find Your Passion In The Middle Of The Storm”. I will be hosting events throughout PA to talk about my mental health journey and learning disabilities to reduce the stigma around receiving support. 

I am partnering with PA Mentor by making cards that will be given to local families who are receiving services with them. These cards will provide comfort, support, empathy and show others that they are not alone.

 During my journey, I discovered diamond art as my most helpful coping skill that helps calm my brain. I will be encouraging others to find their passion that calms them in the middle of their storm. 

I also will host food drives at some events to give to local food banks and empower as many people as I can with my mission, but I need your help to do this. 

  I previously held the 2019 Pre-Teen Miss Amazing PA and National Title, but in 2020, the pandemic brought a mental health crisis that made it difficult for me to fulfill my role of spreading kindness and reducing bullying. After seven years of focusing on my mental health and self-care, I was able to participate in Miss Amazing again this year and won my age division. 

I am so grateful for this opportunity to share my heart with the world again!  

While Miss Amazing pays the registration fee, Jaylene is responsible for raising the funds to make this trip a reality. Flights, hotel stay, meals, transportation, media package, gala, clothing/costume costs, and more are all part of the expenses we hope to cover. 

Any support you can offer will help Jaylene continue her journey of empowerment and self-advocacy, sharing her story and passion with the world, and working toward her educational goals is deeply appreciated from the bottom of our hearts! <3 

 Miss Amazing has supported over 2,500 females with disabilities, offering volunteer projects and community inclusiveness throughout its ten-year existence.
