Hi! My name is Lillian, and I’m so excited to share something really special with you.

I have been selected to play on the U13 Team Israel softball team, and this summer I’ll be traveling to Italy to compete in the European Massimo Romeo Youth Trophy (EMRYT) tournament, which is one of the most prestigious youth softball competitions in Europe! Getting the chance to represent Israel and play the sport I love on an international stage is truly a dream come true for me.

I’ve been playing softball since I was 5 years old with Northside Youth Organization (NYO) in Atlanta, and I’ve loved it ever since the first day I swung a bat. My favorite positions are catcher and pitcher, and I really enjoy being involved in every play and helping lead my team. One of the things I love most about softball is working together as a team and supporting each other to achieve success.

Being chosen for Team Israel means so much to me, and I feel incredibly proud to represent both my sport and my heritage. As much as anything, this experience is about growing as a player, making new friends, and representing something bigger than myself. I can’t wait to step onto the field in Italy and give it my all.

This amazing opportunity does come with a big cost, including travel, uniforms, training, and tournament expenses. That’s why I’m asking for your help. Any donation—big or small—will help me get one step closer to Italy and support Team Israel Softball as we compete against teams from all over Europe.

If you’re able, please consider making a donation and sharing my page with your family and friends. Your support truly makes a difference and helps me chase this incredible opportunity.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and for supporting me on this journey. It truly means the world to me!

🥎🇮🇱
