My name is Anthony. I’m a father of three, a veteran, and now a freshman at Trinity College of Jacksonville—and I can honestly say my life hasn’t been an easy road.

There were seasons where I felt lost… carrying burdens, trying to hold everything together for my family while searching for something deeper—something real. Through those struggles, I found my way back to faith. Not just belief, but a calling. A purpose.

Now I’ve been given an opportunity that feels bigger than me—a mission trip to Costa Rica to share the Gospel, serve others, and bring hope to people who are hurting.

But this isn’t just about going on a trip. This is about the kind of man I’m becoming… and the example I’m setting for my children. I want them to see a father who doesn’t just talk about faith, but lives it. A man who answers when God calls—even when it’s hard.

The truth is, I can’t do this alone. As much as I want to go, I need help to get there. And that’s not easy for me to say. But I believe this mission matters—not just for me, but for the people we’ll serve and the lives that could be changed.

If you feel led to give, even a small amount, it will mean more than I can put into words. And if you can’t give, your prayers and sharing this mean just as much.

Thank you for believing in me, in this mission, and in what God can do through it.
