Greetings!
I'm new to this process, but so in need of help that I am willing to shoot for the moon in hopes of discovering that special star who will assist in making my dream come true. So heres my story. A few years back I was on the road to success, recently married, educated and working on my dream as a newsreporter. When my husband and I discovered that I was due to have our first child we also discovered that i needed to undergo chemo. So for the next few years following my child's birth I was in a heavy weight fight for my life ( literally). I am happy to report that I beat the beast and I WON! Ok...but heres the strange and ONLY funny part about finding out you may die...It makes you REALLY wanna live! LOL ...For over 2 years I laid in the bed suffering in pain and all I could think of was the things I thought I had PLENTY of time to accomplish. I made a list and that led to making a deal with God..I said" Lord, if you will bless me with getting me up on my feet again, I will do all these things that I put off." So here I am, and I am going for each and every one.
One of my highest dreams has been to have my own talk show. I worked on this project for over a year and I now have the opportunity of a lifetime. My show which has been developed has been approved for airing on PBS ( KVCR) here in Palm Springs California. The show will spotlight community events and happenings which are ALWAYS taking place here in the desert community. I am going after a demographic which has never been targeted. Women, Minorities of all races and Young Urban Professionals, our fastest growing community. I have completed my first show, its fabulous and I am ready to take on the world..or at least all of southern California, since thats how far my show will broadcast. ( 0ver 109 cities/5 million homes)
My only holdup and problem- With such a great opportunity I don't want to see this dream slip through my fingers. PBS is known for quality televisions and not advertising commercials. In order to handle ongoing production of my show, I need the support of a Corporate or Private Sponsor. I am also told that a foundation supporting the show would work as well. Palm Springs is known for people of wealth, but unlucky for me, I just don't run in these circles, so when they come together for social events, I am never on the guest list. How then I keep asking myself, do I seek their support? Look, I'm not asking for a hand out, I can provide through my show entry into 5 million homes in Southern California, including Los Angeles County. ( That makes for great name recognition for my supporter and sponsor)
Now you wonder, Why am I am fighting so hard for this opportunity? Well, for a few reasons, First because it is my passion, second, because I promised myself and God ( a deals a deal afterall) and last because my child has Autism. I am a full time care-giver for him and I know that I would be a better person for him, if I had something else on the side which stimulates me. I know that with my passion for addressing issues and topics, I can bring a greater awareness within this region to Autism and the resources which are available to parents.
So there it is, I have a opportunity and all I need right now is a wonderful person, called YOU. Won't you come forward and partner with me in this venture? No, the money would not go to me, any assistance would go the production company and station to cover production costs. It may be a while before I even make anything, but thats when you know your in love with what your doing...its when your willing to do it for FREE!!!!
If you are a philanthropist ( and I'm praying your reading this Mr. Gates) and you just want to see someone makes a fresh start and support themselves long term in their dream, then please contact me. Or look at it this way, How great would it be to know that you were the person who gave OPRAH her first start?
I'll be watching for you.
