🎂 Samaya's 14th Birthday Wish

For my 14th birthday, I’m wishing for a trip to Washington, D.C.!

Hi, I’m Samaya. I’m in 8th grade, and I started making handmade corn heating pillows when I was 10. This year, I’m working to raise $2,500 toward my class trip to Washington, D.C., in April 2027.

Turning 14! 🎉

How it started

A little idea at age 8, still going strong.

When I was 8, I started sewing my own custom microwavable corn heating pillows, and I never stopped. I’ve kept making them ever since, one pillow at a time.

Now I’m in 8th grade and my class is going to Washington, D.C., in April 2027. The trip costs $4,500, and I’m working to raise $2,500 of it myself.

Every pillow you order or gift you give gets me closer. Thank you for cheering me on!
