Thirteen-year-old Brady loves basketball so much that his dream is to be a professional basketball player one day. Playing basketball motivates him to keep his grades up and school. With his end goal in mind, he really wants to increase his basketball skills.
Making Dreams Come True
As a kinship placement, his family wanted to support Brady’s dream but they just didn’t have the extra money to pay for basketball registration. They turned to Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation to help with the cost so he could play in the Winter League and do something he loves that could be a pathway to college and career.
In a thank you note, Brady said the following:
Dear AFFCF Donors,
Thank you so much for your donation to AFFCF. You helped me attend a basketball league called Hoop Code. I really like meeting new people that are better at basketball than me and learning new skills from them and my coaches.
Basketball is my favorite sport, but I did not get to play at school, so this is a big opportunity to develop and learn new skills on the court. I am very grateful and happy for what AFFCF and you have done for me…
Sincerely,
Brady
