Sponsor Needed! Christian Juarez, The Preuss School, UCSD

My name is Christian Juarez.  I am 14 years old and currently going to the Preuss School UCSD.  I live with both of my parents and I have 2 sisters, one who is older than me and one younger than me.  My father is a gardener and my mother is a stay home mom.  Growing up has not been easy for me due to the fact that I have had a blood disorder since I was 2 years old and currently it is still a mystery what is causing my body not to produce a normal amount of platelets. Even though I wish to do a lot of physical activities, I’m limited on my options.  3 years ago I was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome which caused me to have a rapid heartbeat, due to all of this I have been in and out of the hospital more times than I can even remember.  All of these medical issues have had a big influence on me wishing to become a doctor.  I am aware that is going to require a lot of sacrifices from me and a lot of effort and it is going to be a long path.  As a doctor I would be able to help a lot of people in my community that are in need of medical help.

With the approval of my doctor, currently I am playing Squash and I am enjoying it very much.  After trying out for Squash 2 years in a row I finally got into the program this year.  Finding someone to sponsor me would really help me to accomplish my dreams to become a doctor.  Receiving help from a sponsor would help me academically so my parents won’t have the burden to provide me with what I need to be successful.  As it is already hard with only having one source of income from my father.

If you are interested in making a difference in the life of a teen through an A Bridge for Kids sponsorship please contact Grace Jo at gjo@abridgeforkids.org.

Testimonial

"It's not easy to live in a society filled with privileged kids, expensive stores, and a school that asks for money for literally everything as a low income teen. It was with the help of an incredible non-profit organization, A Bridge For Kids, that has faded my worries of how I'm going to afford the things I need."
