Luke is a rainbow baby with a star over his head and magic in his smile. He says “hi” to strangers, melting hearts and turning gloomy days bright. Every outing is an adventure—he waves at planes, signs “thank you” in ASL, and charms museum staff into taking one down just for him. Bilingual, joyful, and full of wonder, Luke learns in English, Spanish, and signs with his hands. He doesn’t just light up a room—he lifts it off the ground.
What are Luke's favorite activities?Luke begins each day asking for books—in English and Spanish—and ends it with a prayer, whispering “Goodnight, Jesus.” He mimics lions, and dinosaurs, and joyfully says “hi” to flowers, trees, clouds, airplanes, and the moon. He’s obsessed with owls and planes, happily watching documentaries most toddlers wouldn’t sit through. Now mastering 48-piece puzzles, Luke learns through wonder, nature, movement, and magic. Bilingual hugs, dinosaur roars, and bedtime prayers—Luke is pure heart in motion.
How would $25,000 impact your family?$25,000 would help build Luke’s future—from starting his 529 plan to enrolling him in swimming classes and getting museum memberships he adores. We’d donate bilingual books to the local library he loves, helping him and other kids in our community. He’s already learning to spend, save, and share—this would let him live those values.
