Josh Sackheim, my son, has always dreamed of flying. After realizing that the cost of living in California was too high to make ends meet, he made the decision to move to out of state and start over. His goal is to become a professional pilot, and he’s been working tirelessly to earn the flight hours and certifications needed to enter the airline industry.

The next step in Josh’s journey is to become a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI), which will allow him to gain valuable experience and help others learn to fly. He found a program in Cody, Montana, that is more affordable than those in Arizona, but even with this option, the tuition is still out of reach. Despite his determination and hard work, the financial burden is threatening to derail his dreams.

We’re reaching out to our community for help. Every dollar raised will go directly toward Josh’s CFI tuition, giving him the chance to continue his education and move closer to a career in aviation. Your support would mean everything to us and help Josh take flight toward a brighter future. Thank you for believing in him and for any help you can give.
