Dear Family, friends, and future sponsors,

Hi, my name is Matthew, and I’m 10 years old. I was nominated into the JRNYLC program by my Art teacher, Ms. Raineri. I was also nominated because I excel in academics, as well as my leadership. I would be very appreciative if you helped me go to this program. I also have some interests of mine that I will include:

I love to draw

I love to read

I love Math

My favorite food is Seafood

If you weren’t thinking of donating before, I can give you some achievements of mine to maybe change your mind.

2024 1st place STEM Fair winner

2025 2nd place STEM Fair winner

Rank 3 High Yellow belt Tae Kwon Do

Yellow belt in Martial Arts

5th grade Honors class

6th grade Math level

7th grade Reading level

Honors class 4 years in a row

All 5s on MVPA 2 years in a row

Both 5s For EOG’S in 4th grade

Hopefully, that gave you another idea of what I’m good at. I would love to go to JRNYLC but the cost comes up to about $3000 and given the state of the economy, prices have grew and donations are harder to give. If you choose to donate, I will be very grateful for any amount that is given; no pressure of course. The conference is in Atlanta, Georgia in July of 2026 and final payment is due May 30, 2026. Thank you in advance!!

Sincerely, Matthew
