Dear friends and family

My 14-year-old cousin, Dylan, has been working hard to follow his dream of being able to travel with his family and play baseball. He’s dedicated countless hours to training, practicing, and improving his skills. This year, after all his hard work, he’s been given a chance to compete in prestigious baseball events in Kansas, Florida, and the Dominican Republic—incredible opportunities that could shape his future in ways we can’t even imagine.

But, as you can imagine, these opportunities come with significant costs for our family in Puerto Rico. Travel, accommodations, tournament fees, and other essentials add up quickly. Dylan and his family are doing everything they can to make it happen, but the financial burden is heavy. That’s why we’re asking for your help.

These events are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Dylan. Competing against top players from across the country and even internationally will give him exposure to scouts, coaches, and potential mentors who can help him continue to grow as a player. This could be the moment that sets him on the path to earning a college scholarship or even playing professionally one day. But it’s not just about the future—this is about giving a 14-year-old boy the chance to see his dreams and be able to take these trips. The cost of travel, lodging, tournament fees, and equipment is simply too much for the family to cover on their own, and that's where we need your support.

How Your Support Will Help:

* Travel expenses

* Accommodation costs for the family to travel and stay during the tournaments

* Tournament registration fees

* Baseball gear

* Meals, transportation, and other daily expenses

Every donation, no matter the size, will directly support Dylan and his family as they take this leap of faith toward his dreams. Even a small contribution can help cover the cost of a plane ticket, a night of lodging, or a meal on the road.

Why It Matters:

Baseball is more than just a game for Dylan and it’s his passion, his escape, and his hope for a brighter future. Watching him grow as a player and a person has been an incredible journey, and this is his moment to shine.

How You Can Help:

* Donate: No amount is too small. Every dollar brings Dylan one step closer to his dream.

* Share: Even if you can’t donate, sharing this campaign with your friends, family, and networks will help spread the word and get us closer to the goal.

* Words of Encouragement: Your kind messages of support mean the world to him. They give him the strength to keep going and show him that his dreams are worth pursuing.

Thank You From the Heart:

On behalf of Dylan and his family, I want to thank you for your time, generosity, and belief in his dreams. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, is a step toward his future. We can’t do this without you, and we are beyond grateful for your support.

Let’s give Dylan the opportunity to chase his dreams and make them come true. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey.

With deep gratitude,


The Gomez, Rodriguez, and Irizarry family
