✨ Help Us Celebrate Samiya’s Sweet 16 ✨
Hi everyone,
As many of you know, Samiya is turning 16, and this milestone is something she’s been looking forward to for years. She has grown into such a bright, loving, and resilient young woman, and I want to give her a Sweet 16 celebration that reflects just how special she truly is.
This year has come with its own challenges, and while my heart wants to give Samiya the celebration she deserves, doing it alone is difficult. That’s why I’m reaching out to family, friends, and anyone who feels inspired to support.
🎀 Why Samiya’s Sweet 16 Matters
Samiya is the type of girl who lights up every room she walks into. She’s caring, respectful, helpful, and always willing to put others before herself. She never asks for much, which is exactly why I want this birthday to be unforgettable — a celebration that honors her kindness, her strength, and all the amazing things ahead of her.
This Sweet 16 isn’t just another party — it’s a moment that marks her transition into young adulthood, and I want it to be filled with joy, love, and memories she’ll carry forever.
🎉 What the Funds Will Support
Your generosity will help cover:
- Venue and decorations
- Food and cake
- A special outfit for her big day
- Additional touches to make the night magical
Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to giving Samiya the celebration she truly deserves.
Party date TBD
If funds are raised quickly, hopefully venue can be secured in December
