My name is Christaly i am 13 years old one of the youngest students in high school. I have an illness called ITP, its where my body doesn't make white platelets its been a struggle but i don't see my self any different from any other 13 year old.  I am attending the TVEC program. TVEC is early college it allows me to graduate high school with an Associates degree as well as my high school diploma. As if i didn't  have a lot on my plate, I am in the marching band. Music is my passion and I am so happy to be in Marching band. I have learned a lot the past couple of months and I hope to continue to do so. I look forward to many adventures with the Marching band. please help me meet my goal of raising $700 this money will help cover all cost for trips, hotels and it can get us to competitions in different states. fingers crossed if they don't cancel the parade that we can make it in!  i also ask for lots of prayers to get me through these next four years. They will be a true challenge and i know there will be days i will want to give up, but i know God will provide the strength to push me through.   Thank you all 

Love Christaly Cruz
