Brad is celebrating a milestone birthday this year, and his birthday wish list includes two things he has been dreaming about for a while:
- an electric drum set and
- a genealogy test that will help progress his family history project
Because this is such a big birthday, I would love to surprise him with one (or maybe even both!) of these meaningful items—things he truly wants but would never quite bring himself to splurge on for himself. The drum set is about $400, and the genealogy product is around $600, which is why the goal for this fundraiser is $1,000.
That said, please know there is absolutely no expectation or obligation for anyone to contribute. This page only exists because several friends and family members asked if there was a way they could pitch in toward a bigger gift for Brad. If you’d like to be part of the surprise, you’re warmly welcome to join in—but if not, that is completely okay too.
Even if we raise just a fraction of the goal, Brad will be completely speechless with gratitude. Thank you for simply being part of his life and helping make his milestone birthday feel extra special.
