Greysenne's Study Abroad in Italy
Many of you saw the post a few days ago where we found out that my precious daughter Greysenne Lentz has the opportunity to study abroad in Italy next spring. She knows there is no way I could afford it, so did not expect to be able to take this once in a lifetime opportunity. But sometimes she forgets how unabashedly proud of her I am, and how hard I am willing to hustle to give her the chances I never had.
Let me tell you a little about my kid (if you don't know her). She is in her second year of college in Starkville, MS. She quit her beloved soccer team her senior year of high school and worked two jobs to save up for college. She worked hard in school, made excellent grades, and all of her tuition is paid by scholarships and grants. She works a full time job while going to school full time so that she can pay for her own apartment and expenses. She busts her butt and rarely asks for anything from me. She is studying Fashion Design and Marketing, and the possibility of studying in Italy, the fashion capital of the world, is simply amazing.
How I gave birth to Barbie, I do not know. Not only is she beautiful on the outside, she is just as beautiful on the inside. Her senior year in high school she was voted "Most Caring" in Who's Who. That made me more proud than being "Most Popular", or "Most Beautiful", which she definitely could have been.
If there is any way I can make this once in a lifetime opportunity happen for her, I will do it! I have never done a fundraiser like this, but I have donated to a LOT of them. I know it is possible to give her this dream.
What we have so far:
--She applied for several scholarships that are for students to study abroad, but it it will be a while before we know if she gets them or not. If she does, the amount I am trying to raise will go down accordingly.
--My friend and ROCK STAR GODDESS Jasmine Cain has commissioned Greysenne to design her some stage wear for her concerts (man, was Greyse thrilled - and a little nervous!) http://www.jasminecain.com/
--My school friend Angie Jones Moll is a Mary Kay Consultant, and has promised to donate 25% of the profits from any sales that mention Greysenne's name.

-- I started a side business (Call me the $5 Bling Queen!) selling AWESOME jewelry. Everything is $5. Yep, $5. I will be carrying a "bling bag" with me ALL the time, so if you need a last minute gift that looks expensive but isn't, I will have it (including a pretty wrapping bag for free!). Mess up with your wife or girlfriend? Spend $5 with me and you will be forgiven. Need low cost gifts for coworkers and extended family for the holiday that looks way more expensive than it is? Need some new bling to match a new outfit? I am YOUR GAL! I will be carrying my bling bag, but you can also order from my website link or my Facebook page!

--If you are in the Starkville area, Greysenne can do side hustles such as cooking (she is AMAZING), cleaning, house sitting, and pet sitting. She does work full time and go to school full time, so you will need to contact her to work out times and dates.
--I am also doing all the side hustles I can get my hands on. Bartending events, working jewelry shows, ShiftGig, ShiftSmart, you name it. If anyone needs something done, call me! I WANT TO GIVE HER THIS DREAM! She is an amazing kid, and she deserves it.
--I am selling a TON of my collectibles (*sniffle*, but it is worth it!), including Marvel, Star Wars, new and gently worn designer shoes and clothing, household items, handmade jewelry, incense, soaps and lots of other great stuff. Those will be posted on my Facebook page in a special album.

This amount covers travel, lodging, tuition and supply costs, and some meals.
