To all you amazing people who have made such thoughtful, supportive, and generous contributions... I cannot thank you enough.  I am literally moved to tears by the amount of support and encouragement I feel deep down in my heart by those of you who have expressed belief in my hopes, dreams, and passion for music.  I cannot do this without you - and I don’t mean without your monetary contributions - the truth is this:  it is impossible to make it in this industry without an OUTPOUR of love and support from people who genuinely appreciate your talent and drive and those who want to see you succeed.  I meant it when I said:  it takes a VILLAGE!  It doesn’t stop here, either.  If I am able to get this kickstarter 100% funded, it will be the start of an exciting and promising journey for me, and hopefully for you as you watch me grow as an artist, a musician, a songwriter, a performer, and as a person.  I literally cannot tell you how much it means and how good it feels.  I will be adding a video this evening of an at-home performance of a song that I feel moved to sing to you all!  Much love - happy holidays - happy new year.  This is a new beginning.... Thank you for being a part of it.

      Unfortunately you can't. When you begin the project, you choose the number of days you want the launch to last for. They say projects that are up for 30 days have a better chance of getting funded in those thirty days rather than dragging out the length of time. Only 14 days left! Thanks for your contribution, Benson. I really am so grateful!
