I am helping my son, Eli Williams, try and raise money for an awesome opportunity that his 3rd grade teacher nominated him for last year. Eli was nominated for the National Youth Leadership Forum (NYLF): Pathways to STEM. Anyone that knows Eli knows that this program would be a dream come true for him. It’s 5 nights and 6 days spent at Vanderbilt University getting to study medicine, engineering, and crime scene investigation. Engineering and robotics are Eli’s favorite things, and he loves asking questions and learning how and why things work. He wants to grow up and help build a prosthetic arm for children that can be connected to nerves so that they can have full use of a hand with fingers that move.

Eli is a remarkable kid who has always loved to learn and help others, and this opportunity would teach him so much and open so many doors to his future.

Any and all help would be truly appreciated, and all money donated would go towards his tuition for this program. It’s a tad expensive but definitely worth it.
