Help us raise money

My sister and I share a superpower, it’s called Dyslexia. 

Reading, which seemed effortless for many, was a constant struggle for me. The alphabet, like a secret code I couldn’t read but others could. 

Dyslexia forced me to work harder, to persevere when the pages blurred and words danced in front of my eyes. It taught me to embrace the power of determination and the value of patience.

More importantly, it molded me into someone who appreciates the beauty of uniqueness. My struggles with dyslexia led me to discover alternative ways of learning and problem-solving. It sparked creativity and a different perspective on the world.

Today, I can proudly say that my dyslexia is an integral part of who I am. It has given me strength, creativity, and empathy for others facing challenges of their own. It's a reminder that our difficulties can ultimately become our strengths.

I am grateful for the opportunity to help kids like me and my sister to be a part of their journey toward a bright future. 

Thank you to all my amazing teachers that I had throughout my childhood who gave me the resources and tools to shine.
