I’m thrilled to be participating in Small Goals Big Change Maryland, a fundraiser supporting Soccer Without Borders (SWB) — an organization that has been part of my life for over a decade.

As a former refugee and newcomer to the United States, I first joined SWB as a high school student, where I found not only a team but also a family. During my college years and right after graduation, I worked as SWB coach, helping create the same opportunities that once helped me. Now, I’m proud to give back by fundraising for the next generation of youth.

Here’s how you can help:

• Donate: Every contribution — big or small — brings us closer to making a difference.

• Spread the Word: Share my page with friends, family, and your networks to expand our impact.

Your support means more than just reaching a goal — it helps open doors, create opportunities, and build community for young people who need it most. Thank you for standing with me!
