Hi my name is Jasmine Liddell and I'm 16 years old. I'm currently studying for my A levels and I am a  footballer aspiring to play professionally. I have a once in a lifetime opportunity to go out to the US to the Mayors Cup showcase in Las Vegas in february 2018 to go and show my talent in hopes to get recruited by universities. This is what I am raising money for. The football trip to Las Vegas is extremely expensive however I'm determined to get enough money together to go. I have played for Tottenham football club and am currently part of a girls football academy programme in which I am developing myself as a player , technically as well as mentally . I am determined to make my dream a reality ; it would honestly mean the world to me if I was able to experience what the USA has to offer for aspiring female footballers such as myself.
The money will go towards travel , accommodation and Visa costs.  I will also have to take the SAT test if I want to attend which is  another additional cost. I am currently looking for a part-time job to support my dream. In order to increase my chances of getting recruited I've participated in extracurricular activities to boost my profile. I was a part of scouts for a number of years , where I then  volunteered as a young leader for over a year. As a result of my dedication to my scout group, I was put forward for a Jack Petchey Award in which I was successful. I also completed the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award. I was nominated unknowingly by my current club for sports woman of the year .
Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
Every contribution however small is much appreciated. I value your support.
