Hi, I'm Rod, Jacob's Dad. Please read my son's personal letter below, asking for your support. Any contribution and donation is appreciated.

Hi, I'm Jacob. I'm a 6' 1'' basketball player for the U17 Bayan Rep team. I'm also an Honour Roll student. I will join my team's trip to the Philippines this July to play in two tournaments against other teams from the Philippines, Dubai, USA, Australia and Canada.

Embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I am reaching out for your support to help me join my basketball team on our dream trip to the Philippines for an upcoming tournament. This journey transcends the realm of sports; it's about passion, perseverance, and the pursuit of excellence.

Competing in the Philippines, a nation deeply rooted in basketball culture, is an opportunity to challenge ourselves against top-tier competition, learn from legendary players, and immerse ourselves in a rich and vibrant basketball environment. However, realizing this dream comes with financial challenges, and this is where your support becomes crucial.

Your contributions will directly fund travel expenses, tournament fees, and accommodations, ensuring that financial constraints don't stand in the way of my dream. By supporting me on GoFundMe, you're not merely contributing to a basketball trip; you're investing in the growth and resilience of a passionate young athlete.

Every donation, big or small, brings me closer to the courts of the Philippines, where I hope to make my mark, forge unforgettable memories, and represent my community with pride. Join me in this journey, be a part of my story, and help me turn my dreams into reality. Your support on GoFundMe means the world to me as I dribble, shoot, and strive for success in the Philippines.
