Help Me Pursue My Dream: Wheelchair Basketball & Empowering the Next Generation


I come from a family of four brothers, where we’ve always been encouraged to chase our dreams, regardless of the obstacles we may face. As someone with a disability, I’ve encountered challenges that have tested me, but the unwavering support of my family has given me the strength to keep pushing forward. My dream is to travel to the United States to attend college, pursue my education, and embrace my passion for wheelchair basketball. Despite the hurdles in my path, I’m determined to reach the highest level in the sport. This opportunity is an essential step in overcoming these challenges and fulfilling my goals.


But my dream extends beyond basketball. I’m deeply committed to giving back to my community, particularly by inspiring and supporting young athletes and children facing obstacles of their own. I want to show them that no matter what stands in their way, they can still achieve their dreams. Everyone deserves the chance to succeed, regardless of their background or ability, and I’m passionate about helping others realise that.

As part of my vision, I aim to create a supportive community for kids and adults with disabilities, where they can engage in sports, build meaningful friendships, and grow together, no matter the challenges they face. By fostering an environment where everyone feels empowered to pursue their passions, I hope to promote inclusivity and inspire others with disabilities to chase their dreams. Alongside my journey as an athlete, I’m committed to using my education and platform to create lasting opportunities for young athletes and children to thrive, helping them believe in their potential. Your support will not only help me reach my personal goals but also contribute to making this vision a reality for others.
