Dear Friends and Family,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Ayden, and I'm writing to humbly ask for your support as I work toward a dream that means everything to me-attending college.

Education has always been a top priority in my life, and I've worked hard to get to this point. I am excited to share that I have recently been accepted to West Virginia University. This is a big step for me because I plan to study musical theatre at the school. I have loved theatre and acting for many years, starting from when I was very young. Acting has always been more than just a hobby for me; it is a passion that drives me every day. I have spent countless hours practicing my craft, whether it was performing in school plays, participating in community theatre, or taking acting classes. Each experience helped build my confidence and skills, and I knew I wanted to turn this passion into a career

Unfortunately, despite my determination, the financial burden is more than I can carry alone. Between books, housing, and other expenses, I'm seeking help to bridge the gap and ensure I don't have to put my education on hold.

My goal is to raise $10,000 for the 2025-2026 school year, to cover some of my college expenses along with my loans.  Any contribution-big or small-will make a meaningful impact and bring me one step closer to walking onto campus this fall.

If you feel moved to help, donations can be made via GoFundMe or my Moms Venmo @Jennifer-Rosario-78

Even if you can't donate, sharing my story with others would mean the world to me.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I truly believe that with a little help, I can achieve something great-and give back to my community in the future, just as others are helping me now.

With gratitude,

Ayden Gonzalez
