A smile with resilience, strength, wisdom beyond her years and so much love behind it. This is Bella, my 14 year old daughter. To know her and her story, is to understand why she is more than deserving to have these funds raised for this experience.

I know parents brag about how amazing their children are, but Bella is truly one of those kids where you don't have too look far to realize how big of a blessing she is. Since she was a young child, she would often be found with a book in her hand, a song in her heart to sing aloud and a TON of witty questions to ask. She was deemed "Gifted" at the age of 4 1/2 years old, which allowed her to participate in a rigorous public school curriculum for her age group. Often reading 2-3 years beyond her age group and grade level she ALWAYS aimed high, even I would question where on earth I would find the ability to keep up with her. Now, at the tender age of 14 she has superseded expectations and has aimed her goals so high, she was accepted into the Cambridge International Magnet Program.

The Cambridge Magnet Programme provides a well-rounded and rigorous college-level curriculum for the student who is ready to explore his/her place in the global community. Successful Cambridge students receive an international diploma – the Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) diploma – which is recognized in 167 countries, have access to over thirty college-level courses enabling them to earn up to two years of college credit, and automatically receive the highest level of Bright Futures scholarship in the state of Florida. The Cambridge experience is the stepping-stone for many students attending the country’s most prestigious Ivy League, Florida state and private universities.

Being recognized at this level is a parent's dream, and one of which I had absolutely no doubt, Bella would achieve. Bella is currently taking college level courses and is dedicated to staying motivated to graduate high school with her associates degree.

This fund raiser will help with travel and expenses with her Cambridge Magnet Program as they embark on the ULTIMATE Euro Trip. Traveling during Spring Break (March 2026) to London, Paris, The Swiss Alps and Munich, a trip of a life time. Any and all contributions and very much appreciated and will mean the world to myself and Bella.

Thank you so much.

An extremely grateful mama
