Hey guys! Just a kid from West Auckland striving for greatness in the land of USA trying to make it into the National Football League.
Auckland
Hi guys!
My name is Lone Toailoa Isara. I'm 20 years old. Born and raised in Auckland NZ. I play the awesome sport of American Football! Growing up in a country which is dominated by Rugby Union, I found my interest in the sport when one Christmas, my brother decided to get a video game named 'Madden 08' which is an American Football video game and from then on out of the love I had for Madden I grew a strong interest about the game of American Football. I love the game so much because of the high level of physicality that it brings to the table.
I've recently just come back from the United States as I was there representing New Zealand in Arlington Texas for the I.F.A.F (International Federation of American Football) World U'19 Team. And we had a Bowl match against Team USA Select U'19 team which you can watch on YouTube (International Bowl 2015 World U'19 vs Team USA U'19 Select Team) . I was honored with the role of being 1 of the 4 captains in the team which was awesome walking to the centre of the field for the coin toss. After the game I've been welcomed by different Junior Colleges and also Division 1 Colleges to try as a walk on for their schools but alot of them are very expensive for an International Student.
I've chosen to go to Mount San Antonio College for summer school which starts on June 22nd and be the only Kiwi attending the school, studying I.T while in the pursuit of the American Football Dream in L.A! Also Mount San Antonio College is the cheapest option to take. Even tho it is the cheapest, it is still very expensive. I'm hoping I can get abit of support from the Country I represented up in Texas with all the pride in the world!
Overall Dream will be to be drafted in the First Round of the 2020 NFL Draft to the Philadelphia Eagles and to give back to New Zealand by holding and assisting Training Camps to help develop the game of American Football within the Country and to kids who are in the same spot as I am in right now to achieve their dreams of making it into the NFL. If I could get your support in this, You can make a difference. Your donation can help me help others in the future. Your help will be greatly appreciated!!
In total I would need $15,000 to get me through one year of school to get me that chance to make it in to the next level!
$12,000 will go towards Mount San Antonio College Tuition Fees
$2,000 for accommodation in the Apartments for International Students playing American Football for Mount San Antonio College
$1000 for my flight ticket to Los Angeles where Mt SAC is located.
Thank you very much in taking an Interest in my crazy dream!
