RAE’S BACKGROUND STORY
For her initial audition for AGT, Rae received a Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum when the actress was left in awe of her story and talent. The singer moved the AGT judges when she shared her story of single motherhood, homelessness, and sleeping in her car while pregnant.
Even though Cristina Rae had a tough time with her finances, her son didn’t know about it.
CRISTINA’S WISHES FOR SON
Before Tuesday’s performance, Rae explained how her son was her life’s inspiration and motivation. In a pre-taped airing before her performance she said:
"I want Jeremiah to seat world as a special, magical place."
Having been homeless, the contestant explained that she felt it was her duty to shelter her son from all the bad things she experienced. If she keeps performing the way she has, she might end up changing her story to something more positive.
WANTING THE BEST FOR HER SON
She revealed that even though she had a tough time with her finances, her son didn’t know about it. The reason why she kept it a secret was that she wanted “him to reach for the stars."
