My name is Christopher and I’m a dad from Indy. I’m trying to get my son, King, to Daytona, Florida. He has been nominated to play with his team in the All-American Youth Football Championship 2026 (Jan 16-18) where he’ll be representing Indiana. We leave Jan 15, and I’m honestly scared he’s going to miss it.

King has put in real work for this—practice, discipline, and heart. He’s excited, proud, and counting down the days. And I’m trying to stay strong for him, but behind the scenes, I’ve been stretched thin with the move, bills, and work slowing down. I’ve asked so many people and sponsors, and I’m not getting responses. I’m doing everything I can, but I’m running out of time.

We cut this down to the lowest budget possible. We booked an Enterprise rental a few weeks ago because we weren’t sure our car would make the drive to Florida and back. We’ll take a toll-free route, park in free areas, and we’ll eat cheap and stretch the food budget as far as we can.

Lowest budget breakdown:

• Hotel: $591.42

• Enterprise rental: $316

• Family seating (parents): $40/day × 3 days = $120

• Food (cheap budget): $70/day × 5 days = $350

• Gas (round trip): $165–$200

• Deposit/hold: $200

Total needed available: $1,742–$1,777

I’m not asking for extras—just the basics to get him there and back so he can compete. If you can help, it would mean everything to our family. If you can’t, please share—one share can put this in front of the right person in time.

Thank you for helping King get to the moment he worked so hard for.
