Hello everyone, my name is Angelina, and I have been selected to speak at the first-ever teen-led mental health summit in Washington-State! This is a rare and exciting opportunity for me to share my story and perspective with other young people and leaders in the mental health field. Growing up as an underrepresented, low-income individual in an immigrant Cambodian family, I have faced unique challenges that have shaped my understanding of mental health. This opportunity means a lot to me, because I believe that with sharing my experiences, I can help broaden the conversation and bring much-needed representation to communities like mine.

Attending this summit means a lot to me, but it also comes with expenses that I cannot cover alone. The funds raised will go directly toward travel, lodging, and Uber expenses for both my brother and me, so we can participate fully in this important event. Your support will not only help me pursue this opportunity, but it will also help amplify the voices of Cambodian youth and others who are often overlooked in discussions about mental health.

It would really mean a lot to me if you donate. Your encouragement and generosity will make a real difference—not just for me, but for the broader Cambodian community and for youth mental health advocacy. Thank you for being part of my journey and for helping bring more representation and hope to this important cause.
