Molly White hasn't added a story.
Hi everyone, my name is Molly. I'm a college freshman currently living 2,000 miles away from my family. This Christmas, I'll be seeing them for the first time in nearly 6 very long months. I couldn't be more excited.
Every year for Christmas, my family draws names to see which sibling we are getting a present for. This year I have Tyler's name. Tyler is 6 years younger than me, currently in the midst of middle school. He's taller than my dad now and has been able to beat me in wrestling for years. He likes normal tweenage boy things like Dungeons and Dragons and Minecraft. He also loves to read and is a total softie around cats and babies. He can fix or build anything. We're betting he's going to be an engineer one day. He's currently a red belt in taekwondo. He's very emotional and gets down on himself easily when he messes up. He has a heart bigger than a house. He helps my mom with anything and everything she asks for. He likes to take care of people. I've seen him cry so many times when he's unintentionally hurt someone's feelings, or when someone says something hurtful to him. This kid is smart. He plays the trombone in his school band. He has a heart of gold.
You can't get such a special kid a pack of socks and a book and call it Christmas, especially when you haven't seen him in 6 months.
So what do you get him?
I had no idea where to start, so I asked him what he wanted. His reply is a true testament to his sweet character: "I want you to come home and take me on an adventure!"
An adventure for Christmas! Now I was left with the question of what would the best Christmas adventure be? Then I smiled as the idea came: EnChroma. I had seen the viral videos, as I'm sure you all have. Tyler is red-green colorblind! What better way to show this sweet brother of mine something totally new than give him the gift of color?
I want so badly for the brilliant light display in my hometown to be Tyler's Christmas adventure. I want to give him at least a portion of the joy he's brought me in my life for being my little brother.
All donations will go directly and solely into making that dream come true, and changing Tyler's world forever. I feel uncomfortable asking for something I have not earned, but Tyler has definitely earned 10 times over a pair of EnChroma glasses. This is all for him.
So for his sake, I'd like to ask you all to please donate. If everyone who sees this were to donate just one dollar, I'd have enough for Tyler's gift in minutes. I'm paying all I can, but as a struggling college student it's just not enough. Every little bit helps. Please donate for Tyler. Please share this for Tyler. I want to give him the adventure of a lifetime for Christmas, and all I want to get is to see his smile.
