My vision may be big and ambitious, but what if?


What if I could gather the collective support of individuals willing to sacrifice one cup of coffee per week to help Anika fulfill her dream of completing her final year of high school at IMG Academy?

Consider this: One cup of coffee, valued at around $5.00 per week, amounts to $260 per year.


Yes, it may require finding several hundred supporters, but isn't rallying behind the underdog what Aussies excel at? Aussies know how to nurture potential vs cut tall poppies down.


What if I could secure a platinum or gold sponsor to significantly contribute to this cause? I will certainly endeavour to do so.


Unlike other international students at IMG Academy who receive full government funding, we receive no such support in Australia. If any government aid or grants become available, I will adjust the requested amount accordingly. Currently it is Zip, Nada, Zero.


Im a single Mum who has traded in my car the first year and sold as much as I could to help support Anika’s aspirations. Perhaps you recall our story from last year when this opportunity unexpectedly arose during a school excursion. Anika seized the chance with both hands.


The USA is a premier destination for women's soccer, and Anika has thrived there this year. I've included her YouTube highlight reel from her time so far at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.


Anika is currently in preliminary discussions with some Division 1 colleges, which offer more affordable options and scholarship opportunities post high school. College looks like it will be a financially viable path for us.


IMG Academy, renowned for its sports facilities, has trained icons like Serena and Venus Williams. However, I seek assistance for Anika's crucial second and final year at IMG Academy. Negotiations for reduced fees are ongoing, and any reductions will be reflected here.


If circumstances prevent the second year at IMG Academy, all contributions will be returned in full to you.


Could you spare one cup of coffee weekly to support Anika? You can donate with a one-time payment or set up recurring monthly contributions so it's not a big ask at once. A donation receipt will be provided for tax purposes. Can you share this with your network to extend the reach? By spreading the word to three contacts and your social media circles, I believe we can make Anika's dreams a reality. What if?


Thank you.
