Elizabeth’s son is a high school senior, an open heart surgery survivor, and a lifelong baseball player. Baseball has always been his passion and, due to his health, the only sport he could safely play. Over the years, he’s become a standout player, known for his natural talent and leadership as a team captain. But recently, his journey took an unexpected turn.

After accepting a calling into ministry and becoming an associate youth pastor at his church, he found himself having to leave baseball practice early on Wednesdays to attend youth services. When his coach told him that choosing church over baseball would mean less play time, Elizabeth’s son made the difficult decision to put his faith first and step away from the team he loved. Despite this setback, his dedication and character opened a new door: he was offered a spot on an academy baseball team that could help him earn a college scholarship and continue his dream.

The academy opportunity comes with costs, and the family needs to raise funds quickly so he can play this season. Donations will help cover academy fees and support his future college education, giving him the chance to keep playing the sport he loves while following his calling into ministry. Elizabeth and her family are deeply grateful for any support—whether financial or through prayer—as her son continues his journey, both on and off the field.
