My Project

Each year, many of my soccer player boys do not have most of what they need to play.

Last season, fifteen players out of twenty-three on my soccer team needed new cleats for the season.

With extremely generous donations from friends, family, and local businesses, I was able to provide fifteen brand-new pairs of cleats, socks, and shin guards, among many other things that were needed. Furthermore, twenty-one of my twenty-three boys were also identified as living well below the poverty line and could not afford the basics to play, such as shin guards healthy snacks, and water bottles.
