About Penelope's personality

She’s the sweetest little firecracker you’ll ever meet - full of energy, laughter, and heart! Even at her age, she’s unbelievably compassionate. If you’re feeling off, she’s the first to ask, “Are you okay?” She loves helping others, making people smile, and turning every moment into something fun! She’s wild in the best way but also so gentle and jolly it’s impossible not to fall in love with her. Just being around her makes everything feel lighter!

What are Penelope's favorite activities?

Her days start with outdoor adventures: exploring the yard, feeding the chickens with Grandpa, and chasing her doggies! She loves meeting new friends at the playground and lights up at her weekly gym class, where she builds confidence and tries new things without fear. Indoors, she’s all about puzzles, drawing, clay, and crafts… totally in her element when she’s creating or learning something new. Her energy and curiosity never quit!

How would $25,000 impact your family?

Winning $25,000 would be life-changing for our family. We’d put it directly into her own account, investing in her future from the start. It would help us give her access to high-quality, Montessori-style education that nurtures her curiosity and intelligence. It would also allow her to explore her passions, whether that’s dance, soccer, art, or even chess, without limits. We want her to dream big and feel supported every step of the way!
