Art and Science. Emily is creative and loves to paint and draw. She likes cutting out shapes and glueing them on paper and creating new things out of raw materials. She loves to explore how things work and asks all kinds of why and how questions.
How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals
The money would go towards Emily's college savings account. If the opportunity becomes available for private school, we would explore those options and allocate funds to early education so that she can have the grades and extracurricular opportunities that can open the door for scholarships for higher education after graduation.
