He’s the kind of kid who can light up an entire room with just one grin. He’s fearless, curious, and hilariously honest—never afraid to tell you exactly what he’s thinking, whether it’s about dinosaurs, snacks, or why pants are completely optional today. He’s wildly independent but still runs into my arms like I’m the most important person in the world. He’s funny without trying, dramatic when it counts, and always 100% himself.
What are Ares's favorite activities?He could spend hours lining up trucks, pretending they’re on a rescue mission or racing to save the day. He’s always on the move. He loves storytime. But his favorite thing of all? Spending time with the people he loves—helping cook (aka sneaking snacks), giving giant hugs, and just being part of the action.
How would $25,000 impact your family?$25,000 could make a life-changing difference for a middle-class family like ours, especially with young children and the added challenges of supporting a child with autism. $25,000 isn’t just money, it’s breathing room. It would give our family the stability, support, and dignity we deserve. It can help us get ahead, not just catch up, and most importantly, it helps us give our children the start they need without sacrificing our own well-being.
