This is my son Michael, a jock since he was a toddler. He loves all types of sports , he has played baseball, basketball, football and he loves it!! As a single parent I held him back a bit because I feared that the wrong hit he could lose the rest of his hearing, Michael was born with his hearing and at the age of 4 he lost a lot of it, to date there is no medical explanation as to why it happened. I now know that was the wrong move holding him back because I was so scared but I just wanted to shield him from harm, but once he got started there was no stopping him!! He has such a passion for sports! He tried out for an all deafsoftball league and he made the team!!! I am so very proud of my son! Nothing stops him! As a single parent it’s kind of hard raising 2 boys on my own , I give my kids all I can and they are extremely greatful for everything they have both played all sports together but this is all Michael! Michael has a wonderful opportunity to play in the nationals in Fort Lauderdale Florida this coming August but I can’t afford the trip on my salary alone and I would love to be at the stands showing him my support as always! So I swallowed my pride and here I am asking for help. Please help us get to the nationals!!! I know he can go on his own but if you know me personally you know I need to be by his side screaming his name in full support! I love my kids and sometimes my pride has to take the back seat! So I want to say please help with anything you can, and make his wish come true. Thank you for taking the time to read this and god bless!
