About Zayden's personality

Part genius, part tornado, and 100% unstoppable. He has enough energy to power a small city, he’s curious about everything (except naps) and notices everything (especially when you try to sneak a snack without sharing). Equal parts detective, comedian, and cuddle monster—he’s tiny, fearless, and fully in charge. We just live in his world.

What are Zayden's favorite activities?

He’s happiest when he’s splashing in water, digging into sensory play, or racing his monster trucks across every surface in sight. He’s all about the action, but also loves the quiet moments—snuggling up with a good book or spending time with his favorite people. Whether he’s covered in bubbles or dirt, or deep in a story, he’s fully in his element. Every day is an adventure.

How would $25,000 impact your family?

$25K would have a huge impact on our family. Both of us serve in the military, and after six years overseas moving across the world, this would help create financial stability during a time of transition. It would allow us to reunite with loved ones after so long apart and provide a solid foundation for our children’s future, giving us peace of mind as we support their growth, education, and dreams. It would truly be life-changing for all of us.
