Please help Gabriel pursue his baseball dreams of representing New Zealand in the LLWS in Korea & U13's Cal Ripken World Series in the USA.

Auckland

My son Gabriel Lesoa, 12 years old, has a big offseason ahead of him, as he's firstly been selected by Auckland Baseball to represent New Zealand at the 2018 Little League World Series Qualifier Tournament, held in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea at the end of June and if successful, him and his team will be traveling to the USA to compete in the 2018 Little League World Series at the end of August.

He has also been selected by Baseball New Zealand to represent New Zealand in the U13's Cal Ripken World Series where he will be traveling at the end of July to the 'Ballparks of America' in Branson, Missouri, USA.

I couldn't be any prouder when the selections were announced as Gabriel has worked very hard to get to this point but with this comes a big cost of trying to get him to these tournamnets. Any donations, big or small would be greatly appreciated as these opportunities don't come by very often.

Use of funds

Funds raised will be used to help cover the cost of airfares, accommodation & food for the World Series Tournaments.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
