Help David Keep Fighting for His Olympic Dream!

David just brought home his first international medal—a bronze from the US Judo Open in Florida! He stepped onto the mat in faith (and on a budget), and came back victorious. We may not have hit our $5,000 goal, but with grit, grace, and a whole lot of hustle, he made it there and back—and proved he belongs on that podium.

Now, we’re asking for your continued support as David chases his Olympic-sized dream, and as we build the future of HTX Judo Club—a veteran-led training ground for the next generation of champions.

Who Is David?

He’s got the soul of a warrior, the heart of a servant, and the creativity of a kid who used to build hamster habitats out of origami. (True story.) What began as self-defense has turned into a calling—and he’s answering it with everything he’s got.

David trains with HTX Judo Club and Active Jujutsu Gym, where coaches—many of them veterans—donate their time and expertise to help young athletes thrive. This club is how David trains. It’s how other students with big dreams and small budgets can train too. Your support doesn’t just lift one—it lifts many.

Why We Still Need You

We’re still working toward our $5,000 goal to cover ongoing training and competition costs, including:

Every dollar helps. Every share matters. Every prayer fuels the journey. This isn’t just about one tournament—it’s about the long haul to the Olympics, and the village it takes to get there.

As a proud Navy veteran and David’s mom, I know what it means to fight for something bigger than yourself. This isn’t just David’s dream. It’s ours.

Ways You Can Help:

✅ Donate—whatever amount you can

✅ Share this campaign with your network

✅ Connect us with sponsors or training opportunities

✅ Pray for strength, health, and favor

Let’s keep David—and HTX Judo—on the mat and on the move.
