Ava is our sunshine in motion. A joyful, spirited toddler with a smile that can light up an entire room. Ava is autistic, and that is part of what makes her so uniquely wonderful. She sees the world in her own bright, beautiful way—and invites us to see it with her. She teaches us every day about patience, love, and the beauty of being exactly who you are.
What are Ava's favorite activities?She loves to sing—sometimes soft and sweet, other times loud and proud, like she’s putting on a concert just for the world to hear. Dancing is her magic. She twirls, spins, and jumps like she’s made of music. She loves movement—running in open spaces, flapping her arms with excitement, bouncing to the beat of her own joy. She loves to color, and bubbles!
How would $25,000 impact your family?Winning $25,000 would make a tremendous difference for our family, allowing us to put a down payment on a house so Ava can finally have the space she needs to grow and thrive.
