Evan is a joyful 3-year-old with a heart full of kindness. As a proud Mexican-Vietnamese toddler, he brings the best of both cultures into every room he enters. Always smiling, he’s quick to help clean up, share his toys, or cheer someone up. His loving spirit and playful energy make him a natural light in our lives and a true example of what it means to lead with love.
What are Evan's favorite activities?Evan loves to paint and express himself through colors and creativity. He treasures playtime with others and lights up when he’s surrounded by friends. His imagination knows no bounds—he can turn a cardboard box into a spaceship or a stick into a magic wand. Whether he’s crafting a masterpiece or leading a make-believe adventure, Evan’s playful spirit makes every moment magical.
How would $25,000 impact your family?As first-generation Americans from Vietnamese and Mexican immigrants, his mother and I dream of a better future for Evan. Winning this prize would be life-changing—it would go directly toward his education and be invested in his future. Our hope is that Evan breaks the cycle of poverty and one day uses his knowledge and success to uplift others and improve the community that raised us.
