About
Hi! I’m Wyatt. And I’d like to invite you to change the world with me.
In 2013, when I was baptized, my parents, Godparents, and the church, made promises to each other, and to me, to raise me to know God’s love, so that I would be able to one day say “Yes,” to my baptism, and live out my love for God in four ways. The first of those four ways is to: Proclaim Christ in word and deed.
What I’m Raising Money For
Did you know that in many parts of the world, there are kids who can’t afford something as simple as a soccer ball? It’s true! They love soccer, but they have to make the ball out of plastic bags!
I love to play soccer! It is my favorite sport. Working together with my teammates teaches me how to work with others to make something happen. It also makes me happy! I believe that’s true for all soccer players. I wish that there were never any barriers to prevent any kid from playing soccer who wants to. I can’t make that happen, but with your help, I can help kids in Samé, Tanzania - where my church, Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Iowa City, Iowa has a sister parish - have the proper soccer gear.

Wyatt is my mentee. I like his project because I worked in Africa and saw the joy of kids playing soccer, with a ball made out of whatever they could find. It worked for them. But as I watched my grandkids play with any number of size and age of commercial balls, I said to myself -- that is not fair. So I want to help share the wealth.
