Jace

Jace is always smiling and says hi to everyone he meets—kids, parents, pets, and grandparents! His heart is just as big as his smile. Since becoming a big brother, he’s been nothing but loving and gentle with baby Charlie. No jealousy, just pure love. He comforts him, plays with him, and always says, “I love you Charlie.” His kindness, joy, and big heart make him more than special—he truly is the Toddler of the Year. We love you, Jace! 💙👶✨

Jace’s favorite things include going for car rides with Daddy—especially to Costco or any grocery store! He loves being outside, whether he’s walking with his golden doodle brother Tobi or cruising on his scooter. At home, he’s all about vehicle toys—monster trucks and construction vehicles are his current favorites! Whether it’s a dump truck or digger, Jace is all in. From outings to playtime, every moment with Jace is full of joy, energy, and imagination.

Winning $25,000 would be life-changing for our family. It would allow my wife and I to stay home and care for our two young kids full-time. We deeply value being present during these early years, and we’ve made the choice to prioritize raising them ourselves over relying on daycare—even if it means sacrificing income. This support would ease financial stress and give us more precious time with our children before they start school, building memories and a strong foundation as a family.
