Hi Friends!!!

For those who know me, you know how hard it is for me to ask for help. I have always been someone who shows up for others, supporting families, and giving whatever I can, even if it means taking the shirt off my own back. Creating this GoFundMe is incredibly humbling for me.

After a lot of thought and long conversations, I decided to set my pride aside for the sake of my daughters, Kiona and Kayla.

They have the opportunity to experience New York City through an educational and artistic trip that would be truly life changing for them. Both of my girls have been creatively and artistically focused for many years. They pour their hearts into their passions, and this trip would give them the chance to experience culture, art, history, and inspiration in a way that only New York City can offer.

Like many families right now, times are tough. No matter how much I budget and plan, experiences like this can feel out of reach. Still, I believe deeply that these are the moments that shape who they become. This trip would not just be a vacation. It would be an unforgettable core memory, a chance for them to grow, bond, and see the world in a bigger way together.

It is not easy for me to ask for financial support. If you feel moved to help in any way, whether by donating or simply sharing this page, our family would be beyond grateful. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings them one step closer to this incredible opportunity.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for being part of our journey. Your kindness, encouragement, and support mean more than you know.

With gratitude

Keri, Kiona and Kayla
