Michelle's 2-22-22 Bday in NYC w Drew Barrymore!

Hey beautiful family and friends,

I hope this finds you ALL staying safe, healthy, happy, and moving towards greatness for 2022!!

I have been given a beautiful and super fun opportunity! As many of you know, Drew Barrymore and I have the EXACT same birthday, 2/22/75. Almost one year ago, I tried to be a part of the virtual audience for the 2/22 taping of "The Drew Barrymore Show," but it was quickly booked up. So, I decided I would try my luck for this year, being the insanely magical 2/22/22.

I submitted my application online back in July of 2021, and then low-and-behold, two weeks ago, out of the blue, I got a call from Producers of the show who had received my application to be IN the audience for the taping of Drew's Birthday Celebration!!!! I was even offered to be a part of the audience virtually, but this week, unfortunately, producers decided they weren't going to do that, so sitting in my living room at my computer to be a part of the show is no longer an option. I have to get myself to NYC on my own dime but will have guaranteed admittance into the audience with this VIP Ticket.

I spoke on the phone with them for 45 minutes, sharing my 2/22 stories of all of my numeric signs from the Universe of 1111, 222, 1234, 444, 1010, and 1212, etc. I spoke of having the same birthday as Paul Dooley, the encounter I had with him years ago about our 2/22 birthday and other coincidences regarding dates and numbers. They thought this was all wonderful and fun! I shared my story of all of the connections and similar experiences I have had compared to Drew and even shared how I came to meet her briefly at Beauty Con in 2017, only for a moment. It was captured on video by her production team too, and as part of my submission, I shared all of the photos and footage to back up our encounter.

Then I was asked to do a submission video expressing my connection to Drew, what 2/22 meant to me, how I celebrate my birthday every year, and what I love about the "Drew Barrymore Show." After I turned this video in, I communicated back and forth with Producers, and they loved the footage, my energy, and my enthusiasm.

Yesterday, I was officially granted a VIP ticket for guaranteed admittance for the in-studio audience for the taping of the 2/22/22 show, actually being recorded in Drew's CBS Studio in New York City at 10 am on 2/10/22!!!! YAY! WHAT A WONDERFUL WIN!!!!! Only people born on 2/22 were granted a ticket!

The super bummer, as many of you know and have experienced yourself, I have only worked five days in 2 years because of the Covid Pandemic, and I am currently living and surviving on Unemployment, which does not allow for anything extra once bills are paid. So, to say my budget is tight is, well, an understatement, to say the least.

I have not left the state of California for business or pleasure since 2018, and four years of working 24/7 and then being single and alone for the past two years trapped at home because of the pandemic has really put my life into perspective.

I am incredibly humbled even creating this Go Fund Me to ask for support to manifest this dream, but I wanted to take a risk and treat myself to something fun, exciting, and unusual to celebrate this magical 2/22/22 birthday which is VERY ONCE IN A LIFETIME!!!!!!

Celebrating my magical day with Drew Barrymore, my Pisces Power Soul Sister would fulfill so many dreams all at once. I have wanted to return to NYC to celebrate life with family and friends for many years, but again, I have not been able to because of financial constraints and then Covid over the past two years.

So, here I am, humbly and gratefully, asking all of my family and friends to help me make this FUN OPPORTUNITY into a MAGICAL BIRTHDAY REALITY!!!

I am trying to raise $2222, which will cover all airfare, hotels, travel accommodations, and babysitter for Rainbear, who I have never left since the day I got her in May of 2018. Nor has Rainbear been alone since Sunshine passed away in October 2020, which was the last time I did a Go Fund Me as well. I would have to be in New York by 2/9 for the 2/10 taping.

I am asking for your help to make my 2/22/22 magical birthday a reality! No guts, no glory, no risk, no reward, so I figured, why not? I'm trying to give myself the BEST birthday I possibly can during a time that has been hard and humbling. Any and every amount is welcome significantly. Even $1 or $2 helps, more than you know~

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS, SUPPORT MY DREAMS, AND HELP ME CELEBRATE MY 2/22/22 BIRTHDAY WITH DREW BARRYMORE IN MY FAVORITE CITY OF NYC!

HAPPY THANK YOU MORE PLEASE....

Love, light, and blessings to ALL-
