Hi, I’m Syra — a proud mom of four beautiful souls. One of the most emotional and important moments of our lives is approaching: my son will be graduating from Army boot camp this August.

He left for training this June, and he's growing into a strong, disciplined young man. We’re so proud of him and want more than anything to be there when he marches across that field.

With your help, I’m trying to take myself and all three of his siblings — including my oldest son, his 12-year-old sister, and his 5-year-old brother — to be there in person to cheer him on. It would mean the world for all of us to witness that moment together, as a family.

We’re fundraising to cover the full cost of our travel and stay:

Estimated Expenses for 4 Travelers

✈️ Round-trip flights (San Diego → Bootcamp Base): $1,300–$1,500

Uber to/from San Diego Airport: $160–$200

Hotel stay near Base (3 nights): $250–$400

Rental car + fuel/parking: $200–$300

️ Meals & daily expenses for 4 people: $250–$300

Total Goal: $2,700

If you feel called to help — whether it’s $5, $50, or even just sharing the link — you’re part of something deeply meaningful for our family. This isn’t just a trip. It’s a memory we’ll carry forever.

Thank you from the depths of my heart for reading, supporting, or simply sending love our way.

With love and gratitude,

Syra and family ❤️
