My child has been chosen to attend the 2026 National Youth Leadership Forum this summer, a prestigious STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) program. Only bright, highly motivated students are nominated and accepted, and he was selected by his teacher and school for his exceptional maturity, scholastic merit, and leadership potential. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that recognizes his hard work and dedication to learning.

As a single parent and widow, I want nothing more than to support my child's dreams, but the cost of this program is beyond my means. Three years ago, our family experienced the tragic and unexpected loss of the man we called husband and dad, and our lives have been forever changed. Despite these challenges, my child has continued to excel and inspire those around him. Attending this program would mean the world to both of us, offering him the chance to grow, learn, and connect with other talented students from across the country.

The funds raised will cover the week's tuition, three meals a day, room and board, scholastic materials, and travel expenses. Your donation will allow my child to participate in a distinguished national program that he's earned the honor of attending. We are deeply grateful for any support you can provide to help make this dream a reality.
