Help 12-Year-Old Micah Reach His Soccer Dreams!

We’re excited to share some amazing news—our grandson/nephew Micah, a dedicated 12-year-old soccer player, has qualified to attend the 3rd phase of the Ohio Developmental Program at Bowling Green University! This is a prestigious opportunity that will take his training and development to the next level as a proud member of the Lightning Soccer Club.

Micah is more than just talented—he’s disciplined, mentally tough, and incredibly hardworking. He trains on his own every single day, driven by a love for the game and a dream to become the best player he can be.

His ultimate goal? To play soccer professionally one day. And this opportunity is a key step toward making that dream a reality.

This next phase includes advanced coaching, elite training sessions, and exposure to high-level competition—but it also comes with costs for travel, lodging, program fees, and equipment. That’s why we’re reaching out to ask for your support.

We’re raising funds to help cover these expenses and ensure Micah can take full advantage of this life-changing opportunity. Every donation, big or small, makes a difference and brings Micah one step closer to his future in the game he loves.

If you know Micah, you know he has what it takes. Let’s rally around him and show what the power of family, friends, and community can do!

Thank you so much for your love, generosity, and support. Please share this with others who might want to help!

With gratitude,
