Russell is a joyful mix of adventurous and thoughtful. He’s always ready for fun, but he’s also the first to check in on others, making sure everyone has a toy or treat to enjoy. He adores animals and loves going down the slide with his trusty stuffed cat in tow. Whether he's exploring the world around him or dancing with pure toddler joy, Russell brings laughter wherever he goes. He tries to be brave in every new adventure, but sometimes just needs a hand to hold when things feel a little big.
What are Russell's favorite activities?Russell lives for adventure—big or small! Whether he's splashing in the pool, playing hide and seek, or kicking a soccer ball in the backyard, he's always on the move. He’s a big fan of any sport with a ball but also loves quieter moments with puzzles or pretend play. One minute he’s hosting a tea party, and the next he’s scoring goals like a pro. No matter the activity, Russell is always ready to dive in with a big smile and endless energy!
How would $25,000 impact your family?$25,000 would be an incredible gift. It would help us build special memories as a family, invest in Russell’s future, and give us some extra breathing room as we navigate the joyful (and busy!) toddler years.
