Receive Text UpdatesYande experiences the world in a unique way, which makes his personality stand out in ways that are truly his own. He is a joyful, musical, fun-loving toddler! Whether he’s dancing or singing like no one’s listening, Yande has a way of spreading joy wherever he goes. One of our favorite memories is when he randomly sang “hallelujah” at a restaurant, and some guests couldn’t help but join in. This brought smiles all around and lifted everyone’s spirit :)
What are Yande's favorite activities?Yande loves all things music! You will usually find him singing, dancing, or strumming on his guitar or piano. There’s never a quiet moment in his world! He also enjoys trips to the park, water activities, play-doh, coloring, and blowing bubbles. And like many toddlers, he can spend hours happily playing with his toy cars.
How would $25,000 impact your family?Winning $25,000 would be a huge blessing for our multigenerational household which consists of Yande’s parents, maternal grandparents, great-aunt, and his 7-month-old baby brother. This support would help us save for Yande’s future as well as create meaningful experiences together—like finally taking Yande, a huge Mickey Mouse fan, to Disneyland.
