Hi friend! 💖

I’m raising money for Bay Area Girls Rock Camp — a week-long empowerment space where young people come together to make music, take up space, and shred. 🎤🎶

BAGRC supports girls, trans, and non-binary youth through the radical act of making music. 🎤🎶

As a speech therapist, educator, artist, and musician, this camp speaks to everything I love:

🧠 Neurodiversity-affirming support

🎶 Loud, messy, joyful expression

🌈 Radical inclusion and belonging

I’m trying to raise $2000 in 5 days to support the camp’s scholarship fund, so no young person is turned away from this experience because of money.

Will you help me get there?

🎁 Donate and Get Fun Thank-Yous!

Because you're awesome — and because I like to make things weird and personal — I'm offering little perks to say thank you!

💖 $10–$25 — Rockstar Shoutout

•Your name in a joyful social media post or story with a custom “you rock” GIF

•A mini audio file of me playing accordion + shouting you out (affirmations meet weird instruments = yes please)

•A personalized accordion jingle with your name in it (you’ll get a short video!)

•A weird postcard in the mail with original mail art, doodles, and MY BEST STICKERS

•Invite to a live Q&A where I share behind-the-scenes moments & we hang out. What does this mean? I'M NOT SURE. Help me pick my outfit for the BAGRC Rock Prom! ✨

🎸 $100+ — Superstar Supporter Tier

•A handwritten thank-you letter with a story from my fundraising journey
