My Travel Story

Hello, My name is Melissa, i'm trying to raise money for my daughter that is an amazing basketball player. She has a basketball tournament on Memorial weekend in South Lake Tahoe, CA and another one in Reno Nv couple weeks after that.  Due to some unfortunate events that has happened to our family...we are financially unable to attend her tournaments which means she cant go as well.  Out of town tournaments has many expenses including getting a hotel room, gas, food ect.  This is so disapointing to her and to our family, me, her stepdad, her brother and her sister for obviously reasons.  She is an amazing athlete. She also plays volleyball, softball and track. We have made it possible for her to play any sport she wants to play even though $ has been tight because we want to encourage her to do what she loves and is good at.  The last 2-3 yrs we have lost 2 homes, one due to covid and the last one due to being on a month to month lease and owner evicting us after being in home for just 10 months all because he decided he wanted to move back in his home. Which resulted in us being homeless currently and since November 2023. Even though this has put a negative emotional toll on her she still has managed to maintain straight A's and play all her sports. She is an amazing 13yr old young lady and deserves to be able to attend her tournaments.  I never ask for help but this just breaks my heart beyond words and need some financially assistance to make this happen for her. We would be forever grateful!!!
