Hello, my name is Maxine Montijo and I am raising money to send my son, Aidan Gentles, to Northern Italy in March 2026. Aidan is a registered member of the Tohono O'Odham Nation, a freshman attending Ceniga High School, and is involved in the FFA (Future Farmers of America) program at school. They are currently raising funds to travel to Italy during spring break 2026, to study sustainable farming in Northern Italy. The total cost of the trip is $4,240.00. We are hoping to raise $5,000.00 to give him a little bit of extra spending money while he's there.

Aidan is an honor roll student at school and also volunteers at the Reid Park Zoo once a month. On top of school and volunteering at the zoo, Aidan also makes earnings to sell at local swap meets and yard sales. This is his way of contributing to the funds for his trip.

Thank you for taking the time to read about my son Aidan and thank you for considering donating to help send him to Italy.
