Join us in helping Flynn kickstart his football journey!

Milford, Auckland

From the moment Flynn could kick a ball, he dreamed big. Football isn't just a game for him; it's a passion that fuels his every day. For years, he has dedicated countless hours on the pitch, honing his skills and embracing every opportunity that comes his way. Now, at just 8 years old, he stands on the brink of a life-changing experience—a chance to train at the legendary Barca Academy in Barcelona, Spain!

This incredible journey takes place from November 29th to December 8th, and it’s an opportunity that could bring him closer to his dream of becoming a professional football player. However, the cost of this incredible experience is $20,000—a significant challenge for our family. As proud parents, we are committed to supporting Flynn’s dreams and ensuring that financial barriers do not stand in his way.

We have created this Givealittle page to rally the support of our family, friends, and community. Every donation, no matter how small, brings Flynn one step closer to training with world-class coaches and learning from some of the best in the sport. We truly believe that this opportunity could make a lasting impact on his development as a player and as a person.

Join us in helping Flynn kickstart his football journey! Your support means the world to us, and together, we can help turn his dreams into reality. Thank you for being a part of this adventure!
