For my 16th birthday, I’m hoping to raise $1,600 — with the help of 100 people giving just $16 each — to support the Ronald McDonald House.

When my little brother was born at just 25 weeks, my family stayed at the Ronald McDonald House in Pensacola, Florida, for nearly 4 months while he was in the NICU. Their support meant everything to us during such a hard time.

Now, as I celebrate my 16th, I want to give back to the place that gave us comfort, care, and a place to call home.

Thank you for helping me make a difference!
