How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals

An award like that would be perfect for my child’s education goals . It would help him get a home computer which we currently cannot afford for him to expand his access to new learning materials and ideas. It would also be a start to having something to start college with when he does graduate high school. Filipe is also an avid athlete, playing soccer after school twice a week, pushing himself on and off the field even further
