Hello, my name is Maria Gabriela , and I am a softball player and student in the United States.

Since I was a little girl, softball has been more than just a sport for me—it has been my passion and my way of learning discipline, teamwork, and resilience. Today, I am proud to say that I have the opportunity to study [International Business / Medicine] while continuing to play the sport I love.

However, pursuing both academics and athletics in the U.S. comes with big financial challenges. Tuition, housing, equipment, and living expenses are very high, and despite my hard work, it is difficult for my family and me to cover all of these costs on our own.

That is why I created this campaign. Every contribution, no matter how small, will go directly toward my education and athletic journey. With your help, I can continue working hard in the classroom and on the field, striving to achieve my dream of graduating and representing my community with pride.

I am deeply grateful for your generosity and support. Even if you cannot donate, simply sharing this page with others means the world to me.

Thank you for believing in me and helping me take this important step in my life.

With gratitude,


Gabriela Velez.
