He loves watching band videos on Youtube, attending marching competitions, recruiting others to join him, and leading pretend parades. He also enjoys trains, roller coasters, reading books, and playing any sport. But if there’s a band playing—Finley’s marching!
How would $25,000 impact your family?$25,000 would be life-changing for our family. Although we live in Charleston, SC, Finley dreams of seeing the Ohio State marching band and visiting Disneyland, and this would allow us to make those magical memories together. These funds would also give us the chance to enroll Finley in a daytime learning program, so he can enjoy the company of other kids daily. These opportunities would fuel his imagination, deepen our family bond, and celebrate the joy he brings to everyone around him.
