Sofia Escobar

Sofia radiates joy not just with a smile but the way she notices people: the cashier gets a giggle, the nurse gets a wave, and another baby will get a kiss. She turns the smallest moments into celebrations: squealing at the first splash of bath water or clapping for herself and everyone else. She’s brave in little ways that matter- trying new foods with a thoughtful pause, reaching out for new hands without fear. She’s growing into a tiny ambassador of connection, reminding us to slow down.

Sofia’s favorite activities revolve around her boundless curiosity and playful spirit. She adores books- not just for the stories but for the adventure of exploring each page. She carefully points to the colorful pictures with wide-eyed wonder. And every so often, she gives the corner a gentle chew, adding her own little “taste test” to story time. Music is another of her great loves; she lights up, bouncing while clapping her tiny hands to the beat.

Winning would be truly amazing. It would strengthen her future- by adding to her fund for her education so she can pursue her dreams. It would also help us invest in things that enrich her early development: more books to fuel her curiosity, music classes to nurture her love of rhythm and movement, and opportunities for travel and new experiences that expand her world. Beyond Sofia’s needs, this support would buy us time: more moments to be present with her.
