Hi family and friends!!!

I'm SO excited to share that I'm about to go on another big adventure — this time to New York City and Washington, D.C.! But guess what? There's a twist... this will be my very first solo trip! (Okay, not completely solo — I'll be going with my best friend and my school group, but no parents this time!)

The trip costs about $1500, and I’m hoping to raise a little extra so I can also get a few souvenirs and treats while I'm there. ✨

This trip is super important to me because:

I'll be learning all about my country’s history

I'll get to see a Broadway show (a dream come true!)

I'll spend fun time with my friends

And most importantly, I'll be learning independence — proving to myself (and my parents!) that I can be trusted to do BIG things on my own.

It would mean the world to me if you could help by donating anything you can. Every little bit helps!

Thank you SO much for supporting my journey! I can't wait to share all my stories and adventures with you when I get back!

Love,

Ava
