I’m returning to the National Miss Amazing Summit in Chicago as the reigning National Miss Amazing Preteen Queen and I could use your help! Being completely blind, I work to show the world that blindness is not a limitation. Miss Amazing is a national self-esteem movement for girls and women with disabilities. The organization promotes inclusion and the importance of disability awareness. When I entered Miss Amazing last year, I had no idea all of the opportunities and experiences that this year would bring for me. As a national representative of Miss Amazing, my personal mission during my reign has been to highlight the gifts of girls and women with exceptionalities, in particular girls with visual impairments. I have worked to increase awareness about disabilities, inclusion, and accessibility for people with unique abilities. I want to continue to be a voice for younger people with visual impairments to emphasize the need for accessibility and equal opportunities.

At National Miss Amazing, I will be able to connect with more than 150 other Miss Amazing representatives from across the country. Attending the National Summit will give me the opportunity to perform on the national stage as a reigning National Queen, continue to build my advocacy and leadership skills, and to connect with other girls and women who are making a difference in their communities. I am raising at least $4,000 to help offset travel expenses for my family and me. Your gift of any size is greatly appreciated! Please consider donating to support my journey to the National Miss Amazing Summit in Chicago, IL, this July!

Thank you for your generosity and support.
