Deer GoFundMe,

My name is Marilynn, and I am 13 years old. I have a dream of attending the National Flight Deck Academy because I aspire to become a pilot in the United States Navy, I want to serve our country, just like my dad. He inspires me everyday, and I want to follow in his footsteps. My mom found the program in 2023, I was too young to attend the Flight Deck so I did the youth program, I am so thankful for her and that she enrolled me in the Flight Deck 2 years later.

The Flight Deck Academy offers an amazing opportunity to experience what it is like to be a pilot, and I believe this would be a vital step toward my future. Unfortunately, I do not have enough funds to make this happen. I'm reaching out to GoFundMe In hopes of raising money for the necessary flights and hotel costs for my family, as well as the fees for the Flight Deck Academy itself.

I live in Colorado, and the Academy is in Pensacola Florida, so even a little contribution would take me one step closer to my goal. Thank you for considering supporting my dream and helping me make this incredible experience a reality!

Also if I end up exceeding my goal (thanks to your help) I plan to attend another military camp next year called Extreme Military Challenge, so those funds will go directly to that.

Sincerely,

Marilynn
