My name is Pattako (PJ) Buakaeo and my passion in life is playing soccer. I have been playing soccer since I was four years old and have fallen in love with it ever since.

I have poured my heart and soul into the sport developing my skills and dedication while playing for Albury United FC for the first seven years before joining Murray United FC in 2018 where I remain today.

Four years ago, I began attending Talent Identification Camps (TIDC) with Football Victoria, and this year, I took a leap of faith by trialling for the NSW Country Team. Against tough competition, I was selected to represent the team at the National Youth Championship in Wollongong this July.

Participating in the National Youth Championship has been my dream, and now, it is within my reach. As I prepare to showcase my skills on the national stage, I am seeking support from the community to help cover the costs associated with travel, accommodation, training, and tournament expenses.

Your generous donation can make a world of difference in my journey.

Here's how you can help:

• Make a donation of any amount towards my fundraising goal.
• Spread the word! Share my story with your friends, family, and networks, and encourage them to support his journey.

Thank you for considering supporting me on this journey to the National Youth Championship. Your generosity and encouragement mean the world to me and my family.
