Hi, my name is Austin Brown, and I’m fundraising to attend CMTC 2026 — a life-changing opportunity that can launch my career in modeling, acting, singing, and entertainment!

I was born in Trelawny, Jamaica — a place full of strength, rhythm, creativity, and people who rise even when life gets heavy. Growing up, I dreamed of performing and being part of the entertainment world, but life presented challenges that made that path difficult.

For years, I struggled with my mental health. It slowed me down, created setbacks, and made my dreams feel far away. But through therapy, support, and dedication, I’ve been rebuilding myself piece by piece — committing to growth and choosing not to give up on who I want to become.

Now living in Canada, I finally have the opportunity to step into my purpose.

CMTC 2026 is that doorway.

It’s a major talent convention where aspiring models, actors, and performers are seen by agents, casting directors, and industry professionals. It is a real, tangible chance to start the career I’ve always dreamed of.

This dream is bigger than just me.

When Hurricane Melissa devastated Jamaica, it shook me deeply. It reminded me how fragile life is, and how connected I still am to the land that shaped me. Jamaica raised me. She gave me resilience, culture, and identity.

Pursuing this dream is my way of honoring Jamaica — and one day giving back.

I want to grow, succeed, and eventually help rebuild and uplift my island in any way I can. This journey is part of that promise.

Why I’m Asking for Help

CMTC has several costs, including:

I’m working hard, but I can’t cover it all alone.

Your support — whether $5, $20, or any amount — helps me take a real step toward my dream.

If you’ve ever believed in me, rooted for me, or wanted to see me win… this is the moment.

Thank you for your kindness, your time, and your belief in my future.

I promise to make you proud.
