Help Elijah, Noah, and Malachi's Dreams Come True

My name is Oliver Duran and I created this GoFundMe to help my cousins Elijah, Noah, and Malachi. I’m reaching out to ask for your help in making a dream come true for three amazing brothers.

These young men have faced more challenges than most kids their age. They live with their grandmother, who is doing everything she can to support them. She even works 2 jobs to make ends meet, but times are tough. They often go without things many of us take for granted — food, properly fitting clothes, and everyday essentials. What they lack in resources, they make up for in heart, determination, and hope. Despite the many challenges they have faced, they are working incredibly hard to build a brighter future for themselves, in and out of the classroom.

I’ve been blessed to mentor them through basketball, helping them stay focused, disciplined, and motivated. They each have big dreams — attending college, playing basketball at the next level, and one day making it to the NBA. They work hard every day, both on and off the court, refusing to let their circumstances define them.

These boys have never had the chance to leave Salt Lake City - never been on a vacation, never seen the ocean, and never experienced the joys that many of us take for granted.

I’m raising funds to help give these brothers something they’ve never had:

-- A trip to Disneyland to experience pure joy and childhood wonder — something every kid deserves.

-- Food, clothing, and everyday essentials.

-- Support to help them stay focused on their education and their dreams.

These boys have dreams bigger than their struggles, but they can’t do it alone. They need a village to lift them up, to remind them that they are seen, loved, and worth fighting for.

If you’re able to give, no matter the amount, you’ll be part of a story that’s so much bigger than just one day at Disneyland. You’ll be helping three young men believe in magic, in hope, and in their own incredible futures.

If you can’t donate, simply sharing this campaign would mean so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me show these brothers that dreams really can come true.
