Dear Family & Friends,

We are so excited to share some big news—Payton has been accepted to go on her school’s East Coast field trip this year! At just 13 years old, she’s earned this opportunity through her hard work and dedication. Last year, Payton held an impressive GPA of 3.57 and continues to make us proud every day.

This trip will take her to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C., where she’ll get to visit historic landmarks, tour the U.S. Capitol, explore the Smithsonian, and even see a Broadway show. It’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime educational experience that will broaden her horizons and inspire her future.

The only challenge is the cost—$3,500—with the full amount due by February 1st. With four other kids at home, this is a big expense for us, but Rob and I want more than anything to make this possible for her.

Studies show that kids and teens who have opportunities to travel are more likely to excel in school and pursue higher education, and we know this experience will stay with Payton forever.

We are reaching out to ask if you might be able to help support her—whether it’s a small or big contribution, every bit truly makes a difference. Most importantly, it would mean the world to Payton to know her family is behind her cheering her on.

Thank you so much for considering helping us give her this gift of adventure, education, and memories she’ll treasure for life.

With love and gratitude,

Rob, Emily, and Payton!
