I’m thrilled to be participating in Big Little Game Show 2026, a fundraiser supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Iowa! I’m passionate about this cause and need your help! Every donation - big or small - helps me reach my fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause.

Since May 2024, I've been a mentor to an 11-year-old named Elijah. We spend a few hours together 2-4 times a month. Sometimes it's fun: like go to an Iowa Cubs Game or the State Fair. Sometimes it's learning: like doing a tour of the Iowa PBS office. Sometimes it's cultural: like going to the Iowa Latino Festival. And sometimes it's work: he's helped me paint, rake leaves, and more. Regardless what it is, I get the chance to show him that he's valued and challenge him to grow in areas he's struggled in. I've seen how much this program can make an impact on kids and I know that your donation will make a great impact. 

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small! I donated $150 and hoping to at least double it, so fifteen, $10 donations would get me there! 
• Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!

Thank you for standing by me in this effort. Your support means the world to me!
