My name is Nathalie, and I’m the proud mom of an incredible young man named Liam. Many see him as a talented, focused student athlete, but few know how far he’s come to get here.

Liam was born at just 29 weeks. From day one, doctors warned us that he might face delays or limitations—but he has defied every expectation. The boy they once doubted has grown into an honor roll student, safety patrol officer, and a young man known for his integrity, discipline, and drive. He’s a natural leader who believes effort matters more than winning and that success comes from heart and hard work.

Because of his dedication, FutStar Academy and TouchKings FC selected Liam as one of the top players in the DMV to compete in Mundialito 2026, “The Little World Cup.” This prestigious international youth tournament has helped launch over 1,000 professional athletes. Competing overseas is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Liam to grow, learn, and represent his community and the United States on a global stage.

The tournament will take place in March 2026, and we’re raising funds to help cover his travel, lodging, tournament fees, and gear. This opportunity is more than soccer, it’s a dream built on years of resilience, faith, and determination.

Thank you for supporting Liam’s journey and helping turn his hard work into something truly extraordinary. Your kindness brings him one step closer to the field of his dreams. ⚽️
