Let's Lift Isaiah to the Skies

Donation protected
For as long as I can remember, I've been in awe of aviation. When I was around nine months old, my father used to take me to the airport for plane spotting. I have clear memories of saying “WOW” when a heavy aircraft would pass by on final approach. Since then, flying has been a major source of inspiration. At age six, I took my passion to another level. I was determined to teach myself how to fly. I started with YouTube videos on Flight Simulator X. I poured over manuals and handbooks from the library. After two years, my parents gave me Flight Simulator X for Christmas. It wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be, and I crashed a lot, but I stuck with it. Two years later, I buttered my first landing. For my tenth birthday, I flew and landed a Cessna 172 in a grass field, with the pilot guiding me, ready to take control. This was the best moment of my life. I've been working towards getting my pilot’s license. My goal is to complete my first solo flight in a motorized aircraft on my 16th birthday. Because of the financial hardship my family is currently facing, I need support to help me achieve my dream. It takes many solo hours in order to obtain a Private Pilot license. The money from this fund will go towards training, aircraft rentals, and fuel. Please put me in the skies where I belong!
