My name is Luke Thomas, I am a 15 year old basketball player from Melbourne, Australia. Basketball was the first sport I ever played competitively which I have continued over the past 8 years. With all the time, focus and hard work I have contributed into the sport, I have been invited to play an AAU basketball circuit in Los Angeles and Las Vegas in July 2026. This invitation will provide me with new opportunities and exposure to high school and college recruiters, fostering a path forward to pursue a career in professional basketball. The greatest obstacle now to my US dream involves the many expenses like: flights, hotels, food and the fees to get into the tournaments. This means I need to work to try and raise as much money as possible for my cause so any help or donation you can provide to me would be appreciated immensely.
