Averi is always challenging herself to be better! At just 2 years old, she got hooked on phonics, all on her own, & taught herself to read!

We're celebrating the power of play, creativity, and imagination through beloved brands families know and love.
Since birth Averi has shown us so much resiliency. Born 3 months premature at 2lbs, she faced incredible adversity. She battled NEC (holes in her intestines) at only 5 days old, underwent major surgery, & fought so beautifully. Since then, Averi has exceeded milestones. Our proudest is TEACHING HERSELF TO READ. One day she starts reading off a random piece of paper & to our surprise, Homegirl is actually reading! Everyday with Averi is so much fun & all our friends/family would agree!
What are Averi's favorite activities?Reading. Averi loves to take trips to Barnes and Noble and always makes sure we stop at the Starbucks so she can have her strawberry chai. She’s also such a girly girl. You can catch her wearing her heels, lip gloss, & rockin’ her Minnie purse. As a new big sister, she loves taking on small tasks to care for her baby brother; feeding, wiping drool… whatever way she can help. Even if it’s telling us, “pick him up now.” cause even 3 year old sisters need time for themselves.
How would $25,000 impact your family?Winning $25,000 would impact my family in allowing us to pay off debts & spend more time with our kiddos. My husband currently works two jobs, hardly allowing free time for just us as a family. We also would LOVE to invest into Averi’s education, being that she is so advanced. However, preschool is so expensive. But it is something my husband and I talk about regularly. Achieving that for Averi and allowing her to hit the ground running would be an absolute dream!
