My name is Jennifer, and together with my husband Peter, we are raising funds for our daughter Lily James and our family as she embarks on an incredible journey. Lily is 16 years old and has been playing goalball, a sport for the blind, for the past two years. Goalball has not only changed Lily’s life, but it has also helped her grow, build confidence, and open doors to a brighter future. We are so proud to share that Lily has been chosen to represent Team USA youth worlds women's goalball team this November in Kazakhstan, alongside five other talented young women.

Lily’s journey to Kazakhstan is filled with important milestones.

Before the world competition, she will be traveling to Colorado Springs, Colorado in mid-August to compete at Nationals, and she will also need to travel out of state for practices leading up to Worlds. These opportunities are a dream come true for Lily, but they come with significant travel expenses for her and us as parents . We are seeking support to help cover airfare, hotels, food, and other needs for our family to attend all of the athletic events and practices required for her journey to Kazakhstan. Your generosity will help make this once-in-a-lifetime experience possible, allowing Lily to focus on her sport and represent Team USA with pride.

Any donation, big or small, will make a difference for Lily and our family. If you are unable to donate, we appreciate your time and ask that you share Lily’s story with friends, family, and coworkers who may be able to help. Thank you for supporting Lily’s journey with Team USA - we are deeply grateful for your kindness and encouragement!
