Hi friends!

As I approach my 56th birthday, I have the opportunity to take an amazing trip!

I will be going up to Berkeley for a few weeks to research in their library, and I would love to take the scenic train and see the gorgeous California coast!

From Berkeley, I’ll be going to Philadelphia for my birthday week, then I will be flying to Milan for three months to write my new screenplay :)

From Milan, I will go back to Philadelphia and the Adirondacks for August and September, until it’s time for the Miss’d America pageant.

I’ve saved quite a bit of money for the trip, and I’m staying in all these places thanks to my friends! The transportation costs are quite high, so I’m trying to raise $3,500 to help underwrite them.

I’ve been working for the past five years at my studio daily, and it’s just time to take a break and do something new. It’s scary, but I’m excited :)

If you could help fund the trip, I would be eternally grateful.

Thank You !
