Our family in Liberty Hill, Texas is reaching out for support as our daughters, Bailey and Sophia, pursue their dreams on the world stage. Bailey has been accepted to study Business Management at a college in Wales, UK, starting this September. This is her first time overseas, and while she’s excited to take this big step toward her dream of owning a florist business, she’s also feeling the nerves that come with leaving home for the first time. The process of preparing for her move—securing a visa, arranging travel, and getting settled—has been both thrilling and overwhelming for her and for us as a family.

At the same time, our oldest daughter, Sophia, is fiercely dedicated to her Taekwondo journey. She’s currently ranked 86th in the world at 46kg and is working tirelessly to represent the USA at the World Championships and Pan American Games. Sophia’s determination to be the best in the world drives her to compete in both domestic and international tournaments. She’s been supported by incredible organizations like Voungs Taekwondo in Maryland, Tiger Jungs in Georgetown, Svega Taekwondo in Austin, and South Tejas Competition in Houston, all of which have played a role in her growth and success.

The travel costs for both Bailey’s education and Sophia’s competitions have added up quickly, stretching our resources thin. We’ve done everything we can to support their ambitions, but we now find ourselves needing a little help to cover these essential travel expenses. Any support from our community, friends, and family would mean the world to us. Your generosity will help Bailey take her first steps abroad and allow Sophia to keep chasing her dream of being the best. We are deeply grateful for any help you can provide and for being part of our daughters’ incredible journeys.
