Rishi Bajaj is fundraising
EVERYONE deserves a chance to play baseball
Today, I'm reaching out to all of you with a heartfelt plea, filled with hope, determination, and a belief in the power of our community to create a profound impact in the lives of those who need it most. We've all encountered individuals with special needs, yet many of us haven't taken the time or had the opportunity to truly understand their experiences.
My name is Rishi Bajaj, and I'm a junior at West Windsor - Plainsboro High School South in New Jersey. Over the past two years, as a volunteer with The Miracle League of Mercer County, I've witnessed the incredible power of baseball to bring immeasurable joy and happiness to children with special needs. These children face daily challenges that most of us can only imagine, and yet, on the baseball field, they find solace, belonging, and a sense of purpose.
Initially, my intention for this fundraiser was to address the pressing need for updates and improvements to our accessible restrooms. Our goal was to ensure that every child, regardless of their abilities, could experience the game of baseball in an environment that is safe, comfortable, and dignified. However, our mission has become even more urgent and complex.
Just a few weeks ago, an EF-1 tornado wreaked havoc on our beloved Miracle Field, causing significant damage and delaying the start of our season. The field, a symbol of hope and inclusion, now requires extensive repairs, including a complete surface rebuild.
Our resolve has been tested, but we refuse to let this setback defeat us. We're now faced with the challenge of resurfacing the field, ensuring that there are no further delays or missed opportunities for these incredible children. And that's where we need your help.
With your support, we aim to raise $10,000 to address both immediate and long-term facility needs. Together, we can rebuild and ensure a barrier-free field for the next 20 years. Your contribution, no matter the size, will be a beacon of hope, bringing back laughter, smiles, and the unbreakable spirit of the Miracle League.
Thank you for opening your hearts and standing with us. Your generosity will forever impact the lives of these special children, turning shattered dreams into triumphant victories. Please donate today and join us on this extraordinary journey of resilience, love, and triumph.
With profound gratitude,
Rishi Bajaj
