  • A Heartfelt Update on Jason's Journey

    Hey everyone, just a quick update on Jason's trip! We are so incredibly thankful for all your love and support. We're getting closer to our goal, and I wanted to let you all know that I'd like to increase it. I'm hoping to be able to travel with him to Spain.

    As a mom, the thought of sending your child to another country alone, especially with the way the world is right now, is a little scary. Being there with him would give me so much peace of mind.

    I'm working on getting the exact numbers for my travel expenses and will update the goal as soon as I can. If for any reason I am unable to join him, every cent raised will go directly to Jason for any expenses that are not be covered in his package (certain meals, souvenirs, or whatever he may need)

    Every little bit helps, and we're so grateful for your generosity. If you haven't had a chance to donate yet, there's still time. Please keep sharing his story—it means so much to us!


About this fundraiser

Help Jason Turn a Lifelong Dream into Reality!

 

Hello everyone, and thank you for taking a moment to read our story. I’ve created this fundraiser with a heart full of hope for my son, Jason, a dedicated athlete with a dream bigger than any soccer field.

From the time he was a little boy, Jason has had one goal that has fueled every practice and every game: to one day play soccer in Spain. He would watch the legendary teams, picturing himself on that world stage, and has worked tirelessly ever since to turn that childhood fantasy into a real possibility.

This year, his hard work has opened doors we once only dreamed of. Jason has been invited to participate in a prestigious international tournament, which also serves as a showcase for college coaches. This is the opportunity of a lifetime for him to be seen and to compete at a level that can shape his entire future.

As a parent, I’ve always done everything in my power to support his passion. Every year, I work hard to cover his club registration fees and uniforms. But this season, the financial demands have grown beyond what I can manage alone. With his talent blossoming, the opportunities—and costs—have multiplied. This year alone, we are facing:

Annual Club Registration Fees & Uniforms: The essential costs to keep him on the team.

Travel to the Regional Tournament: He successfully competed in Tulsa over the summer, which was a significant but necessary expense.

College Showcase Camps: To get him noticed by scouts as college approaches, we've been investing in specialized camps.

The International Tournament: This incredible opportunity comes with substantial costs for airfare, lodging, and tournament fees.

What makes this journey so special is Jason himself. In his humble way, he often says he’s “not that good” at soccer. But his actions tell a different story. Being hand-selected for an international showcase proves the talent, skill, and heart he pours into the game every single day. He has earned this chance, and I am determined to help him take it.

I just want to give him this opportunity to see how far his dedication can take him. I have always believed that if it’s in God’s plan for him to get there, then a path will be made. Today, you can be part of that path.

Your generous support will go directly toward covering these expenses, relieving a significant financial burden and allowing Jason to focus purely on playing the game he loves. You won’t just be funding a trip; you’ll be investing in a young man’s dream, his future, and his belief that hard work truly pays off.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering our cause. Every donation, share, and word of encouragement brings Jason one step closer to Spain. Let's show him what's possible when a community rallies behind a dream.

¡Ayuda a Jason a convertir el sueño de su vida en realidad!

Hola a todos y gracias por tomarse un momento para leer nuestra historia. Creé esta recaudación de fondos con un corazón lleno de esperanza para mi hijo, Jason, un atleta dedicado con un sueño más grande que cualquier campo de fútbol.

Desde pequeño, Jason ha tenido un objetivo que ha impulsado cada entrenamiento y cada partido: algún día jugar al fútbol en España. Veía a los equipos legendarios, imaginándose en ese escenario mundial, y desde entonces ha trabajado incansablemente para convertir esa fantasía infantil en una realidad.

Este año, su esfuerzo nos ha abierto puertas con las que antes solo soñábamos. Jason ha sido invitado a participar en un prestigioso torneo internacional, que también sirve como escaparate para entrenadores universitarios. Esta es la oportunidad de su vida para ser visto y competir a un nivel que puede definir su futuro.

Como padre, siempre he hecho todo lo posible para apoyar su pasión. Cada año, trabajo duro para cubrir las cuotas de inscripción de su club y sus uniformes. Pero esta temporada, las exigencias financieras han superado mi capacidad de gestión. Con el florecimiento de su talento, las oportunidades (y los costos) se han multiplicado. Solo este año, nos enfrentamos a:

Cuotas anuales de inscripción al club y uniformes: Los costos esenciales para mantenerlo en el equipo.

Viaje al Torneo Regional: Compitió con éxito en Tulsa durante el verano, lo cual fue un gasto significativo pero necesario.

Campamentos de Exhibición Universitaria: Para que los cazatalentos se fijen en él a medida que se acerca la universidad, hemos estado invirtiendo en campamentos especializados.

El Torneo Internacional: Esta increíble oportunidad conlleva costos sustanciales de pasajes de avión, alojamiento y cuotas del torneo.

Lo que hace que este viaje sea tan especial es el propio Jason. Con su humildad, a menudo dice que "no es tan bueno" en el fútbol. Pero sus acciones cuentan otra historia. Ser seleccionado personalmente para una exhibición internacional demuestra el talento, la habilidad y la pasión que le dedica al juego cada día. Se ha ganado esta oportunidad y estoy decidido a ayudarlo a aprovecharla.

Solo quiero darle esta oportunidad de ver hasta dónde puede llegar con su dedicación. Siempre he creído que si Dios quiere que llegue, se abrirá un camino. Hoy, tú puedes ser parte de ese camino.

Tu generoso apoyo se destinará directamente a cubrir estos gastos, aliviando una carga financiera significativa y permitiendo que Jason se concentre exclusivamente en jugar al deporte que ama. No solo financiarás un viaje; estarás invirtiendo en el sueño de un joven, su futuro y su convicción de que el trabajo duro realmente vale la pena.

Gracias de corazón por considerar nuestra causa. Cada donación, cada acción compartida y cada palabra de aliento acerca a Jason un paso más a España. Demostrémosle lo que se puede lograr cuando una comunidad se une para apoyar un sueño.
