Description

Tell us what specific thing you need funding for initially:
I need funding for a Basketball tour in Australia in January 2016 for the NZ U18 Development team. The cost is $3400 for both travel and accommodation costs.

The trial for the Las Vegas NZBA 2016 trip are coming up which I have been invited to attend again. The estimated costs of this trip is around $4000.

I am the youngest in my family and am being raised by a single mother as we lost our dad in 09. My mother works full-time while trying to tend to both my and my siblings school and extracurricular activities. It has pressure on her now that I have been selected for the NZ U18 Development team
