Donate to Eli Kirk's Dream: Wrestling Worlds in Spain

Hello, my name is Lisa Kirk. I started this GoFundMe on behalf of my son Eli Kirk.

Eli is a student athlete at the University of Central Oklahoma where he was a redshirt freshman for the UCO wrestling team.

He is also a world team member for the Puerto Rico National Team.

Last year, we were able to travel to the Pan Ams in Santiago, Chile. It was an absolutely amazing experience to see a small town guy from Guthrie, Oklahoma make it onto the big stage in another country.

This year, he qualified to compete in Peru for PanAms. Unfortunately, he had to make a hard decision of going to Pan Ams or attending Kaleo for the summer (a Christian discipleship program for college students). He chose to dig deeper into his faith and honor his commitment with Kaleo. Now, he is back and training harder than ever to get in tip-top shape for Spain. He will once again represent Puerto Rico in Pontevedra, Spain for Worlds in the U20 Roman Greco category from September 2-8, 2024.

Even though our family has had some financial setbacks, we have been doing everything in our power to raise funds to get him there for this life-changing opportunity (hopefully not his last).

What will your donations cover?

All funds received will help cover:

Training,uniform, gear, flight, hotel & healthy meals to stay on weight while traveling to Spain. Every. Single. Dollar. Counts.

Please help us spread the word. Share with your friends if you're unable to donate, we will appreciate any and all help.

Thank you all for reading this far. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
