Empower Deshnick to Orlando and the MLS

My name is Gabriel Rocha, Director and coach for FC Sonora, a local grassroots soccer club in Tucson AZ. This past season, I had the incredible pleasure to coach an amazing young man and generational talent. 13 year old Deshnick Nkeh. From the beginning, he dazzled and displayed his incredible talent, and demonstrated his high character on and off the field. Throughout the season, he only grew into the game and was quickly recognized on the national level, earning him a spot on US Club's ID2 National Identification team. This team is compromised of 18 players selected from across the country after multiple levels of identification camps and combines. Upon making the final team, he went alongside his teammates to Portugal and competed against top Portuguese academies. His ability and work ethic earned him a Homegrown Youth contract with Major League Soccer (MLS) team Orlando City Soccer Club. He signed in June, to play for their Under-15 MLS Academy side, and pursue his dream of representing the US or Cameroon and playing professional soccer. Orlando's Organization believes in Desh, and is covering nearly all other expenses (Housing, schooling, food) all he needs to do is get here. Deshnick and his family are from Cameroon, and have been in Tucson, Arizona for 2 years now. I hope to alleviate the financial barrier of him going to Orlando, from the family and help him get off to the best possible start for this incredible opportunity. Desh is 4.0 student, an incredible footballer, and a great humble young man. It has been my absolute pleasure to have been apart of his journey, and I hope that any donation you can contribute, helps him take one step closer to achieving his goal. Any funds over our initial goal, will go to his family to help cover any unexpected expense while Desh moves alone to Orlando. Thank you for taking the time to read , and I thank you again for all the support.

Thank you, Coach Gabe Rocha
