Hi family & friends,
As some of you know it is Hailey’s last club/AAU/Spring Summer basketball season. It has been a wild ride this kid has played from the age of 6 until now. When she first picked up a basketball her face lit up. She loved running around and playing with a team and being competitive. She wanted to get better and ever since she has worked and grinded to get to the Hailey you see today on the court! She has faced many adversities from teams dissolving to near career ending injuries but her love for the game stopped her from giving up. She has remained a 3.8 student while being involved in several clubs and organizations. Even some extracurricular activities to help her achieve her goal of becoming a vet. She also never stops working out.
With that said, we need your help if would like to donate.
For a Junior in high school that basically equates to their senior year in club basketball. Because of her hard work and dedication, she has been chosen for one the most competitive basketball club in Missouri and actually the Midwest for her very last AAU season.
This means she will have the opportunity to travel across the country to tournaments that bring together the best elite players in the country. These trips are frequent and can be expensive. As a result, we are raising money to help cover travel expenses to be able to keep competing in these tournaments, which are a fantastic opportunity for me and aid in the quest for college recruitment on all fronts academic & athletic.
Places we will travel and must pay for accommodations.
- Hampton VA 4 days (airfare, hotel, rental car)
- Dallas, TX 3 days (airfare, rental car)
- Chicago, IL 4 days (airfare, hotel, rental car)
- New Orleans, LA (airfare, hotel, possible rental car)
- St. Louis, MO 3 days
- Springfield, MO 2 days (hotel)
- Ames, IA 6 days (hotel)
A friend sent me this quote because I try to take on everything on my own and not ask for help, which for the record is very hard for me to do but we have to step out on faith (Matt 7:7-8).
“Sometime asking for help is the bravest move you can make. You don’t have to go it alone.”
If you are inclined to support thank you so much in advance. If you cannot trust me I more than understand. Thank each and everyone of you for all the love and support you have shown for Hailey over the years. It has not gone unnoticed and unfelt!
Here are a few pics and a video that show her journey and growth <3
To you her village again I say Thank You!
