Seeing my son explore the world through fresh eyes & develop a love for things like sports, swimming, music, & dogs. Seeing his personality blossom into the funniest, sweetest, creative & smart little boy. The way he lights up & runs to me after a long day. I love teaching him new things but I learn from him everyday too. He makes me laugh & brings the light to my life. Our unconditional love& bond is irreplaceable & I love every moment we share. He is my motivation and gives life more purpose.

I knew he loved music when one day he would not stop crying and I played “Try a Little Tenderness” by Otis Redding and he immediately stopped. Until this day that song will soothe him. So when he was about 10 months old, he got on the piano and wrote his own song. He started playing and singing with the few words he knew and actually created a melody. I was amazed. I will never forget that and I just knew he was one of a kind. He still makes up his own little songs on his mini guitar.

I would use it to help us move out of our small studio apartment and into a nicer and safe area where my son can have his own room. I would also start a college fund for my son. Especially since I am furthering my education as well, it would save us from potential debts. It may not seem like much to some, but for us, even $20,000 could be life changing. It would help us start to create a better life for us because my son deserves it and I wish I could give him the world!
