Fun and Family Values

Hi All!

I'm raising funds for my kids' extracurricular activities. My 15 year old competes on his high school judo team and will likely have an opportunity this year to travel to Japan with his team. My 12 year old enjoys archery and tennis or pickleball, and - more so than his older brother - is interested in his Jewish heritage and attending an overnight Jewish camp and having his Bar Mitzvah.

Last year, my 12 year old attended camp and had such a good time hiking, meeting new friends, and having his own adventure, that he has asked to return this coming summer. In addition to going to camp, he has been practicing for his Bar Mitzvah which is planned for November this year.

Unfortunately, my boys' mom is not willing to be financially supportive of anything related to preparing for the Bar Mitzvah or for camp. I am trying to provide memorable, life-long experiences for my boys and I'm asking for your assistance to raise $10,000 to help cover the costs of international travel to Japan, overnight camp, and the Bar Mitzvah.

Asking for others' assistance is no easy task for me, and I would be grateful for any contribution.

For those who have already contributed, thank you very much; your donations are heart-felt and greatly appreciated. Your assistance has so far enabled me to pay the deposit for camp and begin planning for the Bar Mitzvah.

Thank you so much and Aloha!
