Receive Text UpdatesMadeline was named after the children's cartoon, and both my wife and I feel she embodies many of the same qualities. She's brave and asks, "What is it?" instead of running away. She's independent—often trying things on her own before asking for help. She's kind, adventurous, and curious. She brings light into every room, shares joy with others, and reminds us daily how special it is to see the world through her eyes.
What are Madeline's favorite activities?At the moment, Madeline’s world revolves around three things: swimming, gymnastics, and Toy Story 1, 2, 3, and 4—though her favorite is 2, because that’s when Jessie is introduced into the series.
How would $25,000 impact your family?The $25,000 would be immensely meaningful to our family. It would help us give Madeline what my parents always wished for me growing up: a running start at life. Whether it’s setting aside funds for college—if she chooses that path—or helping with her quinceañera or debut (Madeline is Mexican and Filipino), this gift would be hers to use when the time is right, in a way that supports her dreams and honors her heritage.
