How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals

$20,000 would go a long way in helping Pheonix achieve his goal of becoming an engineer. we not a wealthy family but do understand the importance of an education. We have scrimped and saved to be able to send him to the STEM CAMPs in several states throughout the years to assist with his interest in science. I believe he would make the program proud to represent them.
