For our son Colten…

My name is Colten, and I have an exciting opportunity this summer—I was nominated to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum: Pathways to STEM. Which is held at UC Berkeley. This program is designed for students like me who are passionate about science, technology, engineering, and math. It will give me hands-on experience in medicine, robotics, and crime scene investigation, as well as help me develop important leadership skills.

I am truly honored to be selected for this program, but I need your support to make it happen. The total cost is $3,600, which covers tuition, housing, meals, and materials for the entire experience. This program is a big step toward my future, and I would be incredibly grateful for any donation, big or small, to help me reach my goal.

By contributing, you’re not just helping me attend a summer program—you’re investing in my education, my future career, and my dream of making a difference in the world.

If you’d like to support me, I would love to share more about the program and how your donation will help. Thank you so much for believing in me and for being part of my journey!
