Hello!

My name is Penelope Sparrow, I am from the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and WeWaiKai Nations.

I currently have the opportunity to play soccer in Spain for a year, with hopes to extend that time even longer. This is a dream I’ve had for years, and I’m now seeking your help to make it a reality. The total cost for the academy and accommodations is $30,000, and I need to raise these funds to pursue this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

This journey is incredibly important to me, as I’m an Indigenous woman breaking through barriers and fighting for a chance to make it in the world of sports. I’ve dedicated the past 15 years to perfecting my craft, and this opportunity in Spain is a significant stepping stone in my career. It’s not just about me—it’s about proving to the communities that support me that hard work and perseverance can defy the odds.

The funds will go directly toward the academy fees and securing my accommodation while I’m there. Every contribution will bring me one step closer to making my dreams come true and setting an example for others in my community who may feel limited by their circumstances. Your support would mean the world to me and will help create a lasting impact for not just myself, but for all the people who believe in me. Thank you for considering to be a part of this journey.
