Soccer Balls of Love - Help me buy soccer balls for kids

I love giving back—it warms my heart. I've always dreamed of organizing a fundraiser to buy soccer balls for underprivileged youth. I'm raising money and will hand deliver the balls, hoping to make a significant impact on each child's day. Every ball will carry love, joy, and positive energy, not only to the recipients but to everyone supporting the exchange. Each moment will be captured on film. Please join me in making a lasting impact on the lives of these young players, celebrating them and the great sport of soccer or fútbol, depending on where you are in the world.

On average, a good quality new size 5 ball costs $35 including tax and shipping. My goal is 200 balls.

I fell in love with soccer the moment I stepped onto the field at age 4 and have played ever since. Moving around a lot as a child, soccer was my way in; I was good at it and it was a great way to make friends. Now in my 40s, I'm still playing, and it keeps me healthy and involved in a great soccer community. It pushes me to stay strong, rehab injuries, and achieve my goal of lifelong fitness so I can keep up a good pace with my kids no matter my age.

The love for soccer runs deep for many players and fans. I'm hoping to reach like-minded folks with a feeling in their hearts to pay it forward with a nice gesture. If soccer has touched your life, been a positive influence since your youth, and filled your heart with good memories as it has mine, then rise up and join me in passing the love along to the next generation.

Much love,

Jay
