What are Ava Casseres's favorite activities?Ava is a born artist. Since she was a baby, she’s shown a deep love for the arts—always creating, singing, and bringing characters to life. She adores crafts, loves pretending to be her favorite princesses, and never misses a chance to perform. Outdoors is her happy place—she’s full of adventure, curiosity, and wonder. Every day with her is a magical journey through creativity and joy.
How would $25,000 impact your family?$25,000 would be life-changing for our family. We deeply value education, and this support would allow us to invest in Ava’s learning and future. It would help us provide her with tools to grow into a confident, educated young woman—someone who gives back and thrives in this country. Every opportunity we could offer her would be a step toward a brighter, meaningful future.
