Hi, I’m Arianna, a proud mother of two, a Crisis Coordinator at a nonprofit supporting youth and families, and a soon-to-be college student heading back to pursue my bachelor’s degree in June. I'm also my kids’ biggest advocate and cheerleader. I believe deeply in showing them that their dreams are valid, their voices matter, and they are never limited by circumstances, only strengthened by them.

We’re reaching out to our community to ask for support and donations as we work toward our goal of raising $2,000 to help my son Amaren and I attend Future Problem Solvers (FPS) Internationals this June in Indiana.

Amaren is 12 years old and in the 7th grade. This is his third year in FPS, a program that has helped him grow through teamwork, creativity, public speaking, storytelling, and critical thinking. He’s qualified for Internationals, and is one of only two students from his school who will represent their district on this global stage.

The funds raised will go toward lodging, travel expenses, and preparation for the trip. We’ve had to pass on this opportunity once before due to cost, this year, I want it to be different.

When I can’t do it alone, I reach out, not with shame, but with hope and trust in community.

If you believe in investing in youth and the power of possibility, we would be so grateful for your support.

Let’s get Amaren to Internationals ✨
