Help Lenin Train for His Marine Corps Future - Santee Ca

Help Lenin Prepare for the Marines – Support His Young Marines Journey

Hello friends, family, and supporters,

My name is Lenin Osburn, and I’m fundraising to support my self in my goal to be a combat engineer MOS 1371, or RECON marine MOS 0321. I am [14 years old - 5’3” - 95lbs] as i take my first real steps toward my lifelong dream of serving in the United States Marine Corps.

Like many kids my age, I have had to work through challenges like ADHD — but with structure, sports, and strong goals, i have been thriving and staying focused on my dream of becoming a Marine.

I am determined to earn my place in a combat-focused role — specifically as a combat engineer, heavy gunner, or RECON marine — and I am not waiting until adulthood to start preparing. I am already living with discipline and drive beyond my years.

What’s Next for me:

This summer, i will join the Miramar Young Marines the “Mighty Falcons”! — a highly respected program that teaches leadership, physical fitness, discipline, and military values. It’s hosted right here at MCAS Miramar, and it’s the perfect training ground for youth like myself who aspire to serve. [I’ve already joined, I start Saturday May 31st]

i am also planning to attend the prestigious Devil Pups youth leadership program next July — another major stepping stone toward my dream of becoming a Marine. With aspirations of being invited back as an eagle.

To stay sharp and get stronger, I am committing to being a three-sport athlete in my freshman year at West HIlls High School:

• Water Polo

• Wrestling

• Track & Field

This kind of training builds the strength, toughness, and mental grit needed to succeed in a combat role — but it also comes with real expenses. Being small in stature, means I must train harder than everyone else. This includes both physically and academically.

What We’re Raising Funds For:

• Young Marines Enrollment Fee – $150 + $300

• Devil Pups Enrollment Fee – $100

• Weights & Training Gear – $150 for strength building at home

• Athletic Shoes, Combat boots, & Uniforms – $200

• Weight Gaining Protein & Nutrition Support – to help me bulk up safely for sports and fitness testing - $60 to $100 per month

• Transportation and Equipment for Upcoming Programs - $100

• Martial Arts or Cross Fitness Programs - $120 per month

Total Goal: $4000

[i have set up a bank account, to cover the monthly expenses as mentioned above]

If you’ve ever wanted to support a young person with a calling to serve his country, this is your chance. Every donation — big or small — brings me, Lenin Osburn, one step closer to becoming the man and Marine i am working hard to be.

If you’re unable to give, please share this with others who might be willing to help.

Thank you for standing with us.

Semper Fidelis,

Lenin Osburn
