Supporting our neighborhood Dad!

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Our family has been absolutely overwhelmed by the outpouring of love, support, and encouragement you’ve shown since the video of the “Neighborhood Dad” went viral. Watching him out there simply doing what he genuinely loves by pouring into these young boys through football, mentorship, and community and seeing how it touched so many of you has been truly humbling.

Never in a million years did we imagine the NFL, SportsCenter, ESPN, and so many others would share it, let alone that over 6 million people would see it! What started as just a few afternoon games has blossomed into something so much bigger, and it’s clear these boys have found not just a coach, but a real village that believes in them.

Because of all the love and the encouragement, we’ve decided to take a leap of faith and start a little league football team for these young men (7 boys so far and growing!). To make that dream a reality, we have set up a GoFundMe to help cover supplies, gear, and something extra special: taking the boys to a Buccaneers football game! We want them to see firsthand the greatness they’re capable of reaching.

If you feel led to support us in this next step, no contribution is too small. Every bit helps us get closer to giving these boys not just a team, but lifelong memories, lessons, and a foundation of love and opportunity.

Thank you again for believing in us, believing in these boys, and showing what real community looks like. We’re just getting started, and we’re so grateful you’re on this journey with us.
