Michael Karaduzovic

Mikey is a bright, cheerful five‑month‑old who lights up whenever he sees a smile. He’s just discovering the world, rolling over with a determined little wriggle and a proud grin that follows every new feat. He loves pool time, where the water makes him curious and a little splashy—watching reflections and kicking his feet with pure delight. Supervised, he’s a bundles of giggles and warmth, turning every moment into a tiny celebration of curiosity and joy.

Mikey adores the pool, splashing and giggling as the water tickles his toes and his tiny belly wiggles with joy. He lights up when he’s with his big cousins, drawing energy and big smiles from their playful antics. Tummy time is a mini adventure, with curious eyes and a little push here and there as he strengthens every day. And when the lights go down, Disney movies whisk him away into magical worlds, where his contagious grin shines brightest.

Mikey already lights up every room with his smile, and thinking about his future feels like planting a garden you tend with love. If we were to celebrate a $25,000 win, the most meaningful way to use it would be to seed Mikey’s college fund now—so his dreams can grow with him. We’d open a 529 college savings plan, and contribute enough to give him a strong start: a safety net that grows with his needs, day by day, year by year.
