Please support Sage. My name is Sage and I need your help. I am a 12 year old singer and actress who totally loves performing! I acted in my first play when I was 5, playing the magic purple flower in Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream. I was 8 when I first sang alone on stage performing both "Born to Entertain" and "Tomorrow". Through all of this my parents encouraged, supported and drove me around, Mom really drove alot. My father is a very good artist and pretty busy so Mom could spend time with me, helping with songs, lines, costumes, all the stuff that goes with performing. This was our thing, Mom and I, she loved it and so did I!Then two and a half years ago Mom almost died! She was life flighted, made it through a life saving surgery and is now trying to learn to walk, talk, everything all over again, it is so hard. I am so glad she is still here! After the surgery when Mom came home there was no way Dad could keep his business going, take care of Mom and I as well as drive me around keeping up my singing and acting so I stopped and began playing local soccer and dancing. 
I really missed singing but I could see how busy Dad was so I sang around the house, singing made me feel good! Mom goes to physical therapy every day and works so hard. She is still in her wheelchair but she can almost walk by herself and her voice is getting better, it has been hard but Dad and I are with her all the time. Two years after Mom's surgery Dad said he was going to call my former voice teacher to see if I could start singing with her again, he and Mom thought they could fit it in. I loved it, I practiced hard and recently sang on stage at the Central Florida Fair, it was exciting and felt great! Here's where I need your help, something really great has happened, I have been chosen to represent the United States on team USA this July 2015 for 10 days in the World Championships of the Performing Arts in Longbeach California! I will be singing in at least 3 categories and acting in 2 in the eleven to twelve age group. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to do the things I love doing, performing! I am so excited to represent Lakeland Florida and the USA against the world! This trip will be very expensive and I need your help to pay for it. With registration, fees, costumes, clothing, travel, food and lodging for 10 days it will be at least $10,500. My Dad is working really hard now to make ends meet so this trip will be impossible for him to pay for. Please help me take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunityto represent the USA against the world by supporting me with your kind donations. I will keep you involved by updating facebook and insta

gram. Your help is appreciated.
