**Help My Son Attend the National Youth Leadership Forum at Rice University!**
Dear Friends and Family,
I am reaching out to share an exciting opportunity for my son, Rodney Kyree Williams. He has been nominated by his teacher Mrs. Rodriguez at Shields Elementary to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum Pathway to STEM program at Rice University in Houston, Texas! This prestigious program will allow him to explore his passion for science and technology and connect with like-minded peers and mentors.
The total cost for this incredible experience is $3,334, which covers tuition, travel, and accommodations. The STEM program will be a 5 day 6 night stay in July of 2025. While we are thrilled about this opportunity, we need your help to make it a reality. Your generous contributions will help Rodney take a significant step toward his future in STEM.
We truly appreciate any support you can provide, whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this campaign with your friends and family. Thank you for believing in Rodney and helping him!
With gratitude,
Ka'Shena Hardeway
