Makena is a little firecracker—curious, bold, and full of personality! She lights up every room with her big smile and contagious laugh. Whether she’s dancing to music, chatting away in her own toddler language, or insisting on doing things “all by myself,” her independence shines through. She’s loving and affectionate, always quick to give hugs or share a snack. With a sparkle in her eye and boundless energy in her step, she’s a joyful mix of sass, sweetness, and spunk.
What are Makena's favorite activities?Makena’s favorite activities include dancing around the house to her favorite songs—spinning, jumping, and showing off her best toddler moves. She loves pretend play, especially cooking in her play kitchen or caring for her baby dolls like a little mama. Storytime is another favorite—she’ll flip through books, point out animals, and demand “one more!” every time. Outdoors is her happy place, whether she’s splashing in puddles, collecting rocks, or running barefoot through the grass with brother!
How would $25,000 impact your family?We’d use it to invest in our daughter’s future—specifically, to jumpstart her college fund. Education is incredibly important to us, and we want to give her every opportunity to dream big and chase those dreams without the burden of student debt. Whether she wants to become a doctor, artist, engineer, or anything in between, this would be the foundation that helps her get there. We want her to know she can do anything her heart desires!
