Help Send Jiaya to the U16 Australian Indoor Cricket World Series!

We're not the kind of family who normally asks for help like this — but today, we're making an exception, because we couldn't be prouder.

Jiaya has just achieved something she's been dreaming about for years: she's been selected to represent her country in the green and gold, as part of the Australian U16 Indoor Cricket team, competing at the Junior World Series 2026 in South Africa.

Here's where you come in

There's just one problem: we only have 12 weeks to get her there, and the cost of sending a junior athlete overseas to represent Australia is significant — flights, accommodation, uniforms, tournament fees, and more all add up fast.

So we're doing something we've never really done before: we're asking. Asking family, friends, our community, and anyone with a bit of room in their heart (and budget) to help us get Jiaya to South Africa.

This isn't just a cricket trip. It's the result of years of dedication from a young girl who dreamed big and worked for it. It's a once-in-a-childhood opportunity to wear the Australian colours and compete against the best juniors in the world.

We know times are tough for everyone right now, and we don't take it lightly asking for support. But if you're able to contribute anything at all — or even just share this page with others who might be able to help — it would mean more to us than words can say.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for reading Jiaya's story, and for any support you're able to give. Let's get her to South Africa in the green and gold.

Every dollar raised goes directly toward [flights / accommodation / uniforms / tournament fees] for Jiaya's U16 Australian Indoor Cricket World Series campaign. Team departs in 12 weeks — thank you for helping us get her there in time.
