<div>Hello, I’m Joshua Ratusny. I'm 22 years old and was born in Marietta, GA. My family moved to KY in 2003. I started playing inline hockey when I was 5 years old and graduated to ice hockey in Owensboro, KY. I was on the Owensboro Rampage travel team and we won State Championship (2020). In middle school I played basketball and football. I have always played multiple sports during my school years and fell in love with Volleyball. I currently attend Lawrence Technical Institute as an outside hitter.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Volleyball has been more than just a sport to me – it’s been my passion and my journey. From the moment I stepped onto the court in 2020, I knew I had found my calling. Today, I stand proud as a member of the USA National Men’s Deaf Volleyball team (USADV)!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But this isn’t just about me. It’s about representing our country on the world stage, and I need your support to make it happen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2024 and 2025, the USADV team has ambitious plans – from Washington DC to Japan, we’re on a mission to showcase our skills and bring home victory. But I can’t do it alone. That’s why I’m reaching out to you today.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our next challenge? The World Championship in Okinawa, Japan, this June. It’s a chance for us to make history, but it comes with significant costs – travel, hotels, meals, and more. We’ve crunched the numbers, and we estimate it will take at least $15,000 to make this dream a reality.
</div>
<div>Your contribution, no matter how big or small, can make a difference. Together, we can show the world what dedication, passion, and determination can achieve. Every dollar brings me one step closer to representing our country with pride and honor.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please, join me on this journey. Your generosity will not only support a deaf athlete’s dream but also inspire countless others to reach for the stars.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for believing in me. Together, let’s shout loud and proud: GO USA!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Warm regards,
</div>
<div>Joshua Ratusny
