Help Support Noah’s Soccer Dream! ⚽️

Hello friends and family,

I’m reaching out on behalf of my son, Noah Caleb McCain. Noah is 16 years old and currently a 10th grade honors student at Newton High School. He has been recognized as MVP for his former team, U13 RYSA Soccer Club, and helped lead them to multiple tournament championships. He is currently the goalkeeper U17 at Kalonji Soccer Association.

From an early age, Noah made a personal commitment to become a standout Black goalkeeper in a sport where few look like him. His dedication is unmatched he trains four nights a week, maintains healthy eating and conditioning year-round, and approaches both school and soccer with discipline and humility.

Today, Noah plays for the Kalonji Soccer Association MLS Next team in Lawrenceville, GA, one of the top development programs in the country. This December, he’s been invited to participate in the 2025 MLS NEXT CUP Showcase an incredible opportunity where he’ll perform in front of college coaches, MLS academy scouts, national team representatives, and professional recruiters.

Noah has dreamed of this moment since he first started playing at just 4 years old. His goal is to continue as a goalkeeper at an HBCU or move forward into the professional level.

As his mom, many of you know I’m not one to ask for help. However, I am stepping out on faith the size of a mustard seed for my son. Over the past year, I faced a difficult journey of my own undergoing a double mastectomy and enduring three reconstructive surgeries to reduce my high risk of breast cancer. My last surgery was just a few weeks ago (September 16, 2025), and though I’m back at work, the recovery time and medical expenses have made it hard to cover the full cost of Noah’s upcoming trip.

The total cost for Noah’s flight, lodging, meals, and team travel is $2,500. Any amount big or small will help get him to this once in a lifetime opportunity.

Noah doesn’t know I’m asking for help because I don’t want him to carry my worries I just want him to shine.

If you are able to contribute or share this fundraiser, please know that your support means the world to us. Thank you for believing in Noah’s journey and helping a young athlete chase his dream.

With gratitude,

Sandra McCain
