Hi, my name is Siva Rajesh (17), and I am currently playing badminton in the USA as a U-19 first-year player. Currently, I am facing a challenging financial situation, and it's tough for my mom (who is a single parent) to cover all my tournament expenses. It would mean a lot to me if I could continue participating in the upcoming tournaments I have planned and keep striving towards my future goals. 

My late father was not just a parent, but a true mentor who introduced me to the sport and provided unwavering support throughout my journey. His belief in my potential and his constant encouragement were pivotal in shaping my passion for the sport and in instilling a strong work ethic within me. His guidance and dedication were the driving forces behind my growth in the sport. The support and donations I receive from kind-hearted individuals mean more than words can express. With your assistance, I can continue pursuing my passion and honoring my father's memory by striving for excellence in badminton. 

I hope to play upcoming USAB & Open tournaments and the Pan Am & World Juniors Selection Event, where my goal is to qualify for the U19 USA Junior Team.
