Help "MARDAWG" Chase Her Wrestling Dreams

Hi everyone,

My name is Nikki, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my daughter, Marli aka MARDAWG— a fierce, focused, and passionate young wrestler with big dreams.

Marli’s goal this year is to compete in as many national tournaments as possible to increase her chances of being recruited to a great college and eventually making the World Team. She’s entering her final years of high school, and this is a crucial time to get in front of the right eyes and showcase all the hard work she’s put in over the years.

She’s not just one of the hardest workers in the room — she lifts others up, helps teammates improve, and leads by example with her discipline and heart. Her coaches and peers constantly recognize her drive, leadership, and love for the sport. Wrestling is her passion, her therapy, and her future.

In the past, I’ve always tried to help other wrestlers get to tournaments — because I truly believe in supporting our youth and their dreams. But lately, things have been more challenging financially, and it’s made it harder to give Marli everything she needs in this critical season of her journey.

Unfortunately, with the high costs of travel, lodging, entry fees, and gear — I simply can’t afford to get her to every tournament on my own. As a parent, that’s tough to admit, but I’m trusting in our village to help lift her up.

This is where we humbly ask for your help.

Any donation — big or small — goes directly toward getting Marli to these national tournaments and helping her chase her dream of wrestling at the collegiate and international level.

If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this page to help us reach more hearts.

Thank you so much for believing in her. With your support, Marli can show the world what she’s made of.

Please help me get her on the mat!!
