Romeo is in his final year of high school as a senior, and I couldn’t be prouder of how far he’s come. I’ve always taught him that education is his most important job, and now he’s on the verge of becoming the first in our family to graduate high school. This milestone means the world to both of us, and I want to do everything I can to help him celebrate it.

I want to give Romeo the opportunity to experience his senior trip. This trip is more than just a getaway—it’s a chance for Romeo to make memories with his classmates, visiting the Smithsonian, the Capitol, the White House, Holocaust museums etc., and experience his very first trip away from home. It’s been his wish and would be a meaningful way to mark his accomplishment before he takes his next steps of enlisting in the Marines.

The funds raised will go directly toward Romeo’s plane ticket, hotel stay, museum fees, food, and a little spending money for souvenirs. Romeo has always put his siblings, family, and others in need before himself. He’s never asked for anything, and your support would mean so much to him. Thank you for considering helping Romeo make this dream come true and for being part of this special moment in his life.
