Help a young footballer reach Spain to play an international tournament and turn years of dedication into a dream come true. ⚽💙

Invercargill, Southland

Every time my son Joaquim steps onto a football field, something special happens. Football isn’t just a hobby for him — it’s where he feels confident, focused, and alive. Now, he’s been given an incredible opportunity: to travel to Spain and play in an international football tournament alongside young players from around the world.

For him, this trip represents more than a competition. It’s a chance to grow, to learn from different styles of play, to experience another culture, and to believe that hard work truly pays off. Opportunities like this can shape a young athlete’s future — building confidence, discipline, and lifelong memories.

As a family, we are doing everything we can to support him, but the costs of travel, accommodation, and tournament fees are high. That’s why we’re asking for help.

By donating, you’re not just helping Joaquim get to Spain — you’re investing in a young dream, encouraging dedication, and reminding a boy that people believe in him. Every contribution, big or small, helps him to step onto that field and living a moment he will never forget.

Thank you for being part of his journey ❤️⚽

2% Effective Fee
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.
