Hi friends and family! I’m reaching out with a heart full of hope and excitement!

My nephew, Ty'Juan "TJ" Jr., has just been given a once in a lifetime opportunity to audition in Nashville for AMERICAN IDOL— a dream he’s held onto since he was little.

For everyone that knows my nephew, you know that music is his passion, purpose and way of connecting with the world. This audition could be the first step toward a future he’s working so hard for.

Unfortunately, at this time my sister and her family are facing a financial hurdle as auditions are super last minute-- June 6th, and they need to book a flight and hotel ASAP. With it being such short notice, the cost of travel, lodging and other expenses are more than they can manage right now. That is why I’m humbly asking for your support.

Every dollar raised will go directly toward helping him get to the audition, giving him the chance to fulfill a lifelong dream. Whether your means of support is sharing this post, giving a little or giving a lot, your support means the world to us!

Thank you for believing in his dream, in music and in the power of community. Thank you for helping Junior take this once in a lifetime shot
