My name is Katy, and I am raising funds for my daughter Eliza, who has been my source of strength through some of the hardest times in our lives. After leaving an abusive relationship, Eliza and I have faced many challenges, especially when it comes to our finances. Despite everything, Eliza’s spirit has remained bright, and her love for soccer—especially her admiration for Ronaldo—has been a constant source of joy for her.

Recently, we found out that Ronaldo is coming to play a soccer game right here in Atlanta, GA. For Eliza, seeing her hero play in person would be a dream come true. Unfortunately, with our current financial situation, I am unable to afford the tickets or even a jersey for her to wear to the game. I want nothing more than to give her this experience, to show her that even after hardship, dreams can still come true.

So many other women and children have been through similar abusive situations as my daughter and I have, ripping their hopes and dreams right out of their hands. If anyone is kind enough to help me put some of that hope back into my daughter I will be eternally grateful. Being able to show her that dreams actually can come true, and witness the joy that would be shining from within her would be priceless. Thank you for considering helping us make this special memory.
