Hi, my name is Daniel Ly. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I have been volunteering my managerial and coaching skills to the Mississauga Monarchs rep basketball team. This was initially to help my younger brother develop his skills and to better prepare him for the future. What I did not realize was that their were 10 other individuals that would need the same guidance and help. Along the way I have got to know each 14 year old individually. They are great kids. They are young, funny and full of energy.

Rico lives with his grandparents and his grandfather works split shifts to support them.

Troy lives with his single mother who is unemployed.

Andrew's mother is expecting another child and is on maturity leave, and his father works all the time.

We have 15 days until the team fees are due, and the organization has no other option except to suspend them from the team.

It is unfair to the kids. I don't want to be the one to tell them that all the hard work they put in will have been for nothing.

I have put my heart into it, and so it breaks my heart that I cannot solve this problem for them.

Please find it in your hearts to donate, and help these kids have the same opportunity as every other 14 year old.
