WELCOME

I visit Tanzania often and have seen the true need that the children there have firsthand.  I specifically want to support children with disabilities in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania, where many people struggle for simply their basic needs such as food, clothing, shoes, medical care, and proper housing.

 

My plan is to conduct private basketball coaching sessions for elementary-aged children either from my indoor half-court at my house or at their driveways for a nominal fee, which will all go towards funding the needs of these children.  I will also be creating awareness with local businesses who are willing to match my earnings for a very special cause. I would like to help one child in need at a time in order to make an impactful difference in each of their lives.

HELPING ALI

​

While I was visiting a hospital in Dar es Salaam that was founded by my grandfather, I sadly met a lady who was dying of cancer.  She was very worried about her 13 year old son, Ali, who had cerebral palsy.  He is now an orphan, and I was able to locate him in a small village called Lindi.  He was living in a small hut with a relative without a roof, no proper clothing, bedding, food, electricity, no medical care, or a wheelchair.  I have sent the funds I raised so far to him to help him get these basic needs taken care of for some time, and I will be visiting him again soon to try to help provide for more of his needs for a longer period of time. Please visit my GoFundMe link in the "Donate" tab and help me make a difference in Ali's life.  I will start with Ali for now and continue finding more children just like him as I raise more funds and awareness.
