Support Ava Vasquez's Miss California Teen USA Dream

Hi, my name is Ava Vasquez, and I’ve been selected as a contestant for Miss California Teen USA 2025, a dream opportunity that I’m so proud and excited to be stepping into. I’ll be representing the Coachella Valley, a place that’s shaped who I am and given me the strength to keep pushing, even when the odds haven’t always been in my favor.

Pageants like this can be life-changing, but they also come with a price. And for girls like me, who didn’t grow up with a lot, the cost alone can feel like a reason to give up before you even start. That’s why this journey means so much more than just competing for a crown. It’s about showing little girls, and even girls my age, that you don’t have to come from money to make an impact. You just have to want it bad enough, believe in yourself, and not be afraid to ask for help when you need it.

This pageant is a platform, and I want to use it to represent not just my city, but every girl who has ever felt like she wasn’t enough because of what she didn’t have. I want to show that with heart, hard work, and the support of a community, anything is possible.

So I’m asking, if you’re able to support me on this journey, whether it’s through a donation, a share, or even just some words of encouragement, it would mean the world. Every little bit brings me closer to that stage and closer to inspiring someone else who might be afraid to take that first step.

Thank you for helping me chase this dream and for believing in something bigger than just a competition. Together, let’s show the world what girls from the Coachella Valley are made of.

With all my love and gratitude,

Ava Vasquez
