Message From Jesse's GoFundMe Account
Hi everyone,
I’m reaching out to ask for your support in helping my son, Jesse Orozco, take part in an incredible opportunity. Jesse is a bright, curious, and determined 14 year old middle schooler who lights up at the chance to learn something new. He’s thrilled to have been invited to the National Youth Leadership Forum: Explore STEM—a prestigious week-long summer program designed for future leaders in science, technology, engineering, and math.
Why This Opportunity is Life-Changing
NYLF Explore STEM is more than just a program—it’s a chance for Jesse to take his passion for learning to the next level. Through 14 hour-a-day hands-on simulations, workshops, and challenges, he’ll gain practical skills and experiences that will inspire his future. In one activity their team will build a drone to learn how it operates.
One highlight of the program is the Outdoor Medicine Simulation, developed by Stanford University experts. Jesse will learn and practice life-saving techniques in a wilderness setting, building skills that could one day save lives and ignite a deeper passion for STEM.
This amazing program will take place at UC San Diego in La Jolla, but we need your help to make it happen.
Why Your Financial Support Means Everything
Jesse has worked so hard for this opportunity, and I want to give him the chance to thrive and grow through this experience. Unfortunately, the tuition, dorm housing and travel expenses are more than we can manage alone.
By contributing, you’re helping Jesse take a big step toward his dreams of one day making a difference as a future innovator, scientist, or engineer.
How You Can Help
- Donate: Every dollar brings us closer to our goal and helps Jesse attend this incredible program.
- Share: Please spread the word to family, friends, and anyone who believes in supporting bright young minds.
Thank you for being part of Jesse’s journey. Your generosity and support mean so much to our family and will make a lasting impact on his future.
Together, we can give Jesse the opportunity to shine!
