Hello, I'm Jen Newkirk and the mother of Irie. Irie is the athlete in our family that has ambitions of playing for a D1 college. She's definitely on her way to success as she is driven and motivated! She gets great grades and has made a AAA hockey team. Unfortunately, the cost of camps and training keeps rising. We are doing all we can, but it definitely puts a strain on the finances. I already work 2 jobs, 7 days a week. My husband works a full-time job. I started this fund to offset a fraction of those costs. Any donation is greatly appreciated by not only myself but also Irie. We are definitely striving to be in a much better position next year!
