Hi, my name is Katie and I’m a proud single mother of three incredible kids. This year, they were selected to join their school's Safety Patrol—a big honor they've worked so hard for. As part of the program, their school is organizing a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Washington, DC to explore our nation’s history, leadership, and legacy.
 
Unfortunately, I couldn't afford the cost of sending them with their classmates. The rising cost of living has made it impossible to come up with the funds in time. As a mom, I want to give them the opportunity they’ve earned—to stand in front of the White House, walk through the halls of history, and experience everything they’ve studied up close.
 
This trip is about more than just sightseeing—it's about showing my kids that hard work and responsibility do lead to rewards. I’m asking for your help to make this dream a reality for them. Every dollar goes directly toward travel costs, lodging, food, and transportation for our journey from Florida to DC.
 
Your support means the world. Whether it’s $5 or simply sharing this campaign, you’re helping a mom show her kids that people care and dreams do come true.
 
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
With love,
Katie
