I am blessed with a beautiful daughter inside and out.  Adriana is a Christian with a pure heart and loves to coach little girls and perform service work (most recently baking pies for the needy at Thanksgiving and currently collecting coats for the homeless).  She maintains above a 3.8GPA and works part-time coaching.  Her principal focus is softball.  Adriana is one of the best hitters in the country, she made Varsity as a freshman (starting every game), she was All-District and made it to the state championship at Woodgrove.  She also has hit 29 homeruns this year between her high school and 18u travel team.  Adriana has been offered two in-state full scholarships and has more than 60 schools in some level of recruiting pursuit.

Adriana's work ethic is stronger than any athlete I know.  She is the first on the field, the last off the field, she hits 1,000 balls a day and works out 7 days a week.  She is represented by NCSA and her recruitment process will heat up after 7/1/14.  As a sophomore, she has been truly blessed and her hard work is paying off as she has been invited to play for America's Team.

Adriana will wear "USA" across her chest in Italy next year, with your help.  Along with 13 other girls, Adriana will play in Milan, Rome and Florence.  Many of her expenses are subsidized, but she has to raise more than $4,300 for food, housing and tour expenses.  Our first payment of $510 is due 1/15/14 and every two weeks from then on.  Adriana has been handpainting and selling Christmas ornaments and her brother is selling my homemade pies, but we have a long way to go.

Adriana does not participate in social media, so I am writing this on her behalf.  I am asking you to please send a message of support and donate to her.  Even $10 helps.  If you are receiving this it is because you are a loving supporter of our family.  Please help us get Adriana to Italy and have her first experience to play internationally.

If we can pull this off, I will be organizing a sendoff party for all of you to share in and subsequently post the pictures to Facebook.

Thank you in advance for your support...CIAO!!!!

Love,

Teri and Adriana
