Hi,

My name is Nino, and soccer means everything to me. It’s not just a game I play—it’s something that makes me feel happy, focused, and like I have a purpose. I work hard every day to get better because I dream of one day becoming a professional soccer player.

I’ve been given the opportunity to go to a soccer tournament in Miami this May, and it would mean so much to me to be able to go. I’ve worked really hard to get to this point and have been lucky to win championships along the way, but I know I still have so much more to learn and prove.

This past year has been really hard for me. I lost my cousin, who was like an older sister to me, my biggest supporter. She meant everything to me, and I looked up to her so much. Losing her changed me.

Now when I play, I don’t just play for myself, I play for her too. She motivates me to keep going, even on the hard days. I try to make her proud every time I step on the field.

Going to this tournament in Miami isn’t just about soccer for me. It’s about continuing my dream, growing as a player, and doing something I love while carrying her with me.

If you can help me get there, I would be so grateful. Any support means a lot to me and my family.

Thank you for believing in me. ❤️⚽️

Message from Mom,

As a parent, all I want is to give him that opportunity—to support him in something that brings him light after such a dark time.

Any support, no matter how small, would mean more than words can express. You’re not just helping him get to a tournament—you’re helping him keep his dream alive and continue playing in honor of someone he will always love.
