Lilly has been invited to sing in "New York City" !

My name is Lilly Downs, I am 17 years old; I was born in Darwin and love singing. I am in year 11 so it's a busy time in my academic career as well. Recently, I won second prize in an International Youth Music Competition (IYMC) singing competition. I was one of 128 international singers aged between 14 and 18 years. As a result, I have been invited to perform in NEW YORK! However, I need to cover my own expenses. Any Contributions you have would be greatly appreciated. Flights, accommodation and food during my very short 8 day stay given I have to come back and attend school. Thank you :D
