Hi, my name is Carlos Ochoa but I go by CJ, and I’m reaching out with the biggest hope in my heart. I’ve been given an amazing opportunity to play at the Soccer Regionals in North Carolina a chance that could open the doors to Nationals and even college scholarships. But right now, that dream feels just out of reach.

I come from a hard-working, loving family. My dad works three jobs just to help keep things going, and my mom is a dedicated teacher who gives her heart to her students every day. They’ve always done everything they can to support me, but this time, we’re really struggling to come up with the money to cover travel, lodging, gear, food, and tournament fees.

Soccer isn’t just a sport to me it’s been my passion since I was a kid. I’ve spent countless hours training, playing in the rain, pushing through injuries, and giving everything I have on and off the field. Getting to Regionals means everything. It’s not just about playing it’s about being seen, growing, and taking one step closer to making a future for myself and my family.

We’re humbly asking for your help. Every single dollar whether it’s $5 or $500 brings me closer to that field in North Carolina and closer to my dream. If I make it to Nationals, it could mean life-changing opportunities for college and beyond.

Even if you can't donate, please consider sharing this with others who might be able to. Your support would mean the world to me and my family.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me chase this dream. ⚽
