Introduction
Hello amazing friends! I am reaching out with an opportunity that can make a significant impact on the life of a child who deserves to shine.
As a supporter of our military veterans and police officers, we know you understand the sacrifices they make for our safety and freedom. Today we want to share a special opportunity that embodies the spirit of giving back to a family who has done just that, sacrificed. Isaiah and Tali Walter are both veteran police officers, with Isaiah also having served in the U.S. Army special forces. They have created a beautiful family with five children, and as any parent knows, kids aren’t cheap! Isaiah and Tali have spent their lives dedicated to paying it forward so that we all may live the American dream, we are asking for your support in paying it forward, so that they can provide that same experience to their son Eli.
Eli, has been selected based on his talents for a once in a lifetime opportunity to attend the Real Madrid Soccer Camp in Spain.
While Eli’s passion is undeniable, the families’ financial situation makes it challenging to afford the costs associated with the camp fees, accommodations, airfare, meals, and training equipment costs. I firmly believe that every child deserves the opportunity to pursue their dreams, regardless of financial constraints and I know that being able to do this for their son would mean so very much to Isaiah and Tali.
About Eli
Meet Eli Walter, a handsome (I may be partial here), passionate and dedicated 11-year-old, who is a good student and respectful son. Eli helps around the house and is an amazing big brother, who loves on his 4 siblings (most days anyway). Eli has shown exceptional skill and enthusiasm for soccer since he first kicked a ball.
While Eli has only been playing soccer for 3 years, he was selected from multiple Colorado BVB players to travel to Seattle, WA in June of 2023 to participate in the BVB International Academy (BVBIA) regional training. Not only did he make the cut for a regional team, but he was also one of 26 (out of 80) selected into the National player pool. He will travel to Dallas, TX in December to show off his talents and potentially join a national team. Eli has been nominated captain 4 of 5 seasons and participated in multiple trainings and camps in the Pueblo and Colorado Springs area. His determination on the field is truly inspiring and has afforded him a chance that only one of a select few children in the country will receive this year. Eli has been selected through the Real Madrid Foundation to travel to Spain and train with the Real Madrid coaches and team at their professional training facility in April of 2024! Every child deserves to chase their dreams, and we believe that this opportunity has the power to teach valuable life lessons about teamwork, leadership, and discipline, while building confidence and creating unforgettable memories.
