My daughter has been a cheerleader her whole life, dedicating countless hours to her team and her passion. This year, all her hard work paid off when her team won first place, earning them a spot at nationals in Orlando, Florida—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

We were all set to go, until this morning we woke up to devastating news: the airline we booked with had shut down and canceled all flights permanently. The tickets I paid for are now gone, and I don’t know when or if I’ll get that money back. With only five days left before the competition, we suddenly have no way to get to Orlando. I’ve done everything I can to make this dream possible for my daughter, and I am reaching out in hopes that others can help us get there. The funds will go toward new airfare for both of us so she can compete with her squad and experience this special opportunity.

Any money that is left over would be used to surprise her with a ticket to Disney World for the day. After all her hard work and dedication, I would love to give her a magical experience to make this trip even more special.

Asking for help is never easy, but I am hoping and praying that someone out there can help us raise enough to get her to Florida. It would break my heart to tell her she can't go after all her dedication and hard work. Any support, no matter how small, would mean the world to us and help make her dream come true.
