We're thrilled to share that our 16-year-old grandson, Jordan Stewart, has been accepted into the prestigious Rome City Institute in Italy , where he’s earned both academic and athletic scholarships — a huge honor and a testament to his hard work and talent!

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity means Jordan will: Train with elite Serie A-level coaches, compete against top international talent, continue his education, and pursue his lifelong dream of playing soccer at the collegiate or professional level in Europe.

While the scholarships cover a portion of the cost, we need help getting Jordan over the finish line.

His mom, Heidi, will travel with him to help get him settled into the dorms and set him up for success — but they still need support covering the remaining expenses, including: Travel to Italy for both Jordan and Heidi, room + board, training gear, living expenses during the program.

If you’ve seen my proud grandma posts, you already know how hard Jordan has worked — not just on the field, but in the classroom and in life. His drive, discipline, and character have brought him this far. With your help, he can take this next big step.
