Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out on behalf of my daughter, Eden, who is 8 years old. As many of you may not know, I am a single mother raising two beautiful daughters.

Life has not always been easy for our family. My husband passed away in 2015, and two years later I met Eden’s father. He was a Marine Corps veteran who struggled with alcohol and substance abuse. Tragically, he chose to end his life just 11 days after Eden was born on February 26, 2018. While Eden has no memories of her dad, she knows who he was and carries his story of being a great man and father with her.

Despite the challenges we’ve faced, Eden is a bright, loving, and determined little girl with a big dream—she wants to dance. Dancing brings her so much joy and confidence, and seeing her light up when she talks about it fills my heart.

Unfortunately, with the rising cost of living and the financial responsibilities of raising two children on my own, I simply cannot afford the dance program she has fallen in love with. It breaks my heart knowing I cannot provide this opportunity for her by myself.

If you are able to help in any way, whether through a donation, sponsorship, sharing this post, or connecting us with resources, it would mean the world to our family. Every contribution brings Eden one step closer to pursuing her dream and experiencing the happiness that dancing brings her.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any support you can offer. From the bottom of our hearts, we are truly grateful.

With love and gratitude,

Sholin & Eden ❤️
