This is Jacob Juarez. He is 13 years old. Jacob is just like every other 13-year-old boy. He is an outgoing, sweet, and competitive middle brother.

He is a role model to his brothers, especially his 8-year-old brother. He sees how hard Jacob works to be the best, and he is just the same. He looks up to his big brother. He is a great student-athlete who is getting ready to graduate from 8th grade. Jacob is the middle child of 3 boys who all play baseball.

From his first weeks of life, he was at a baseball field! He went from watching games to playing. He has been playing with his community baseball league since he was four years old. He works harder and harder every year to better himself and the kids around him.

He started a few years ago playing travel baseball so he can continue improving his skills. He also still continued to play with his in-house team so he can play with his friends and have fun.

He has never talked about doing anything else but baseball. Anyone who knows Jacob knows that he is serious about baseball and playing at a high level. He is committed to getting into the MLB. This is not just a dream to Jacob; these are his life goals. Two years ago, he tried out for this USA team to go represent his country in the Dominican Republic on this national team but did not make it. After this, he made it his goal to make the team the next time the opportunity presented itself. That opportunity came knocking again this February of 2025. He went to the tryouts with 150 other kids and made the first cut. Then he did the interview and passed that. They offered him a spot on the 2025 team representing the USA in the Latin American Baseball Classic. This is where we need your help. He has worked so hard to get here, and as his parents, we want to give him this opportunity he deserves. This year has been rough for us but also a year that is bringing our kids so many milestones. We have been trying our best to keep our kids' lives normal, and we make sure we continue to support our kids in what they are fighting for. We can use all the help we can get from our friends, family, or just a believer. Someone who wants to support a young kid's dream of representing the USA while playing the sport he loves. We do appreciate anything that can help us get to our goal of getting Jacob to the Dominican Republic in July of 2025 to represent the USA in the LABC. Thank you again for your time.
