Israel, 22 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Israel is a hard working student who has been unaccompanied since high school. He has been a huge support for his grandma, who is also raising his two younger brothers with special needs. He is currently finished his AA at Chaffey Community College and started at a four year, last fall to complete his Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology. He is a dedicated soccer player and was hired last year to coach his high school's junior varsity team. He is always willing to help "coach" others and rarely thinks of himself. He is moving into his junior year of college and is an avid soccer player and kinesiology major. He has dreams of becoming a professional coach or a personal trainer.

Israel is currently playing on a club soccer team in LA County. He uses soccer as a means of physical and mental wellness as he works toward his college degree. He needs a new pair of cleats to replace a pair that is tearing. The new cleats will help him avoid injury and play at his best. He says, "I know the cleats don't make the player, but a new pair will certainly help keep me at consistent level during practices and games."
