If you don't know much about our story, let me tell you a bit. Weston and I have struggled a lot throughout the years. I was a single mom for over 10 years of his life and we met many challenges. He was always put on the back burner because of affordability. Weston has always loved soccer. He started playing when he was 5 years old and fell in love. Fast forward a few years and his love for soccer has become a passion and a dream. Even though we have an amazing support system and we are no longer just a mom and son duo, we still fight the money struggle game. I pushed him more in the front as much as I could the last couple years. Weston got to finally be on an Elite team last year and play for his highschool team. His team this year just got done doing summer tournaments and are getting ready to start the season. Costs for everything have not been easy for me. Especially as he had to start drivers education at the same time this year and other challenges.
We recently had to move away from Sequim, back to Joyce, into a travel trailer I had to buy, on my parents property. Within the last few months everything tipped upside down. Of course the trip of a lifetime would come at this time.
Weston and his teammates get the opportunity to attend a trip to England with the BIFC team (fellow elite team) and tour two Pro Stadiums, play with other teams from the UK and learn more about the sport he loves. If you know soccer... this is a dream to be able to play and just be in England where Football (soccer) is life! Obviously it is going to cost quite a bit. Each player needs close to 3K to attend. That does not include airfare, passports, extra expenses like food not included in the package, souvenirs, gratuities and travel insurance for their belongings.
My goal for Weston is to raise 4K to cover the trip and added expenses. We would like to assist other teammates as well. We started s 50/50 board that will hopefully cover the deposit due August 15th. Half the cost will be due September 30th and remaining balance due February. I believe his passport and airfare will need to be completed soon after the first payment. I stretched out the fundraiser to accommodate everything.
Please help me give my strong willed, loving, sarcastic, soccer loving teen a dream opportunity.
A trip of a lifetime.
