Let's Surprise Cheptenye Soccer Team with New Cleats & Balls

**We hit our goal of $3000 raised within TWO HOURS. Thank you so much! After polling our audience, people encouraged us to raise more funds for additional philanthropy projects while we were here in Kenya. We have revised the goal to $10,000 and appreciate all your support. We are going to change so many lives with your support.

Hi, my name is Sam. I'm currently travelling across Kenya with four friends spreading messages of hope and kindness at local schools and conferences.

On day 19 of our 30-day speaking tour, we visited Cheptenye High School. After pulling into the parking lot, we immediately noticed many of the students playing European football. I asked the principal if I was allowed to join them. Within minutes, I was running up and down the field, playing the sport we all love.

After the game ended, a student pulled me aside to share that football is the one thing he looks forward to and considers his entire life. He then shared that most of the athletes on his team, including himself, can't afford soccer cleats, which is why they play barefoot. He asked if I would purchase a pair of shoes for him.

I promised Peter I would be back to gift him a pair of shoes, but wanted to do more. The question that came to mind was, "What if we surprise the entire school team (30 athletes) with soccer cleats, gear and new training equipment?"

That is why you are reading this GoFundMe campaign.

The goal is to raise $3000 so we can surprise these students with new football gear.

European football is a beautiful game that brings so many people together, and your donation will encourage these young kids to continue playing.

100% of your donation is going directly to the athletes. Let's all come together and show these kids the power of the internet. All funds raised will go directly to the soccer team ❤️
