Our son is a bright light everywhere he goes. At just 2 years old, he’s goofy, full of energy, and loves making people laugh. He’s incredibly outgoing and never shy about making new friends—whether they’re kids or grown-ups. What amazes us most is his compassion. He’s always checking on others, sharing without being asked, and offering hugs to anyone who looks like they need one. He’s a joyful soul with a heart far beyond his years.
What are Hayden's favorite activities?He’s all about fun in the sun! He loves going to the park (especially the slide and swings) and could spend hours running and jumping through his splash pads. His goofy laugh is contagious, and he turns every outdoor moment into an adventure. One of his favorite things is walking over to say hi to the neighbors anytime he spots them outside; he never misses a chance to make a new friend or brighten someone’s day!
How would $25,000 impact your family?$25,000 would truly change our lives. Hayden’s dad switched careers to be home more, but it’s 100% commission, so finances have been tight. Things became even leaner when Hayden’s little brother arrived, and mom didn’t qualify for maternity leave. We’re making it work with love and faith, but this kind of help would lift a huge weight and give our boys the stability and opportunities they deserve.
