My Motive

I have always wanted to give back to my community in any way possible. However, having lived in six different countries, I found it difficult to choose one place to focus on. That's why I decided to fundraise for Save the Children, a globally active charity that not only helps children in need but also supports underrepresented minorities whose struggles often go unnoticed.

As an Armenian, this organization stood out to me because it was one of the first well-rounded charities that recognized my country as a place in need of aid. Additionally, knowing that a good portion of the 2.3 billion children who benefit from these donations could be my age or even younger makes me even more determined to help. I recognize that it was purely by luck that I was born into a family where I have the luxury of freedom, safety, and comfort, and I want to do my part to extend those opportunities to others.
