THEIR STORY:

Berkeley was inspired by the passion of a group of children in Colima, Mexico, who dreamt of playing soccer but lacked the means to do so, Berkeley embarked on a mission to make their aspirations a reality. Collaborating with my grandfather, who shared their story, she learned about their financial struggles, including the inability to afford uniforms, shoes, and registration fees. Determined to help, Berkeley withdrew money from her savings account, asking her grandfather to donate it to the children on her behalf. With the funds, they were able to provide the essentials they needed to play, including uniforms, cleats, and equipment. The children were overwhelmed with gratitude, expressing it by adding Berkeley’s name to their soccer shorts. Their dedication and newfound resources propelled them to victory, winning the state championship “Club Deportivo Juvenil ATLAS, F.C” and highlighting the transformative power of sports and community support.
