Mateo is a magnetic little soul and his smile lights up the room, and his energy is impossible to ignore. He moves through the world to a beat all his own, inviting everyone around him to join in, whether they do or not. His joy is contagious, his kindness effortless, and his heart so big and genuine you can feel it just by being near him. Mateo doesn’t follow the crowd but instead he leads it, laughing, dancing, and loving every step of the way.
What are Mateo's favorite activities?Mateo’s favorite adventures take him outdoors whether he’s collecting leaves, inspecting bugs, or exploring new trails, his curiosity leads the way. He loves flipping through books, especially when they’re about animals or big machines, and nothing beats the thrill of Disney Cars with Lightning McQueen always races to the top of his list!
How would $25,000 impact your family?Winning this prize would be an investment in Mateo’s future. Instead of using it for short-term needs or material things, the money would go directly into a college fund to help set him up for long-term success, something we might not be able to fully provide without this kind of start. Mateo deserves every opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive, and this would give him the foundation to reach his full potential.
