Really? My kid has never been asked but really so what. Move along, this has little to do with the ask and more to do with what appears to be your hate or jealousy for the person or kid. Want, as you try you obviously care way to much. It’s like it’s personal to you, so what did that family do to you personally because what adult that feels fulfilled would spend this much time on one topic or even feel the need to start a topic like this? As with many of these topics the same person who starts it is usually the person who continues to post to themselves hoping someone justifies their deep rooted insecurities and narcissistic issues. I know this obviously is above your head but try to focus on your child and family and not everyone else’s.

You can not be so sensitive if you are going to read anonymous opinion forums.

I don't like these companies that try to make a living by misleading families that they should spend a lot of money on soccer travel as if there is some talent ID possibility because of the trip. And I don't like that they suggest that their customers fund raise by asking others for money.

You clearly have a different opinion and you are entitled to it.

Please. Nothing to be jealous of here. International trips are very common and very expensive. The more players on the trip, the more money made. Sorry for the parents they tricked into these things.

This one is interesting because the account often posts photos of their new house, private training sessions, elaborate gifts, and other things that make me think it’s odd they would ask for people to donate for their daughter to go on an international soccer trip that’s appears to cost a small fortune. I don’t know if the trip is with their club but I have not noticed any of the other parents in the club post anything.

Hey!! Go fund me parent here! Sad I had to get a call from a friend to let me know that someone went out of their way to open a whole page on this topic... some of you are so pathetic that you sit just waiting to gossip because your life is so empty... what’s even more interesting is that my Facebook page is private so the person posting this is “my FB friend” only a couple handfuls jealous enough of a teen to actually spend any time posting something like this. So to the two faced anonymous poster who cares so much here is how the GoFundMe page came to be! Yes, I do co-own my own company and up until Covid we had been doing amazing! But in this last year we have been holding on by a thread... so in order to continue with what my children need and to continue on providing every opportunity I got a second job at nights... so that’s how I provide for the “extras”... When the call came in for my daughter to play Internationally we where upfront (already turning down a second opportunity in Paris for her to play at an academy do to money) We spoke for a good hour on what this could do for her and the connections she will be meeting with in Sweden to jump start her playing in the future. After the conversation they offered half the scholarship and gave us ways we could fundraise to earn the other half... (which I have never done nor wanted to do, why? Because this right here) hence the GoFund me page and other fundraisers we will be doing outside. The go fund me page was only attended for my close friends and family but people have shared who loves our daughter and our family. Keep it moving for anyone else as it doesn’t really effect you one way or the other, right? I am usually the one who gives to anyone in need and I will do it without question and never even think about asking why they need it or be so ignorant to gossip about it on a pathetic anonymous form. If you don’t want to give or it somehow bothers you, that’s your own issue. This is a great opportunity for your “friends” daughter so shame on you for posting this and trying to start sh** but if you must try to make sure that you spread some truths.
I work 2 jobs and am trying to start a third to not only provide for my family but take care of my parents one of who was just diagnosed with cancer and lives with me, I am making sure they are also fully supported too. We weren’t going to go but the International coach gave us half the money and gave us 2 ways to pay for the other half.
Lastly, don’t fool yourself.. you posting, sitting and waiting for gossip on these type of forms is not only pathetic but.. what was that word you used? Oh yes tacky.... yes you are correct you aren’t tacky at all... I am sure you will find away to continue to justify why you couldn’t just come to me yourself but the truth is you are just trying to fill some void. And I will take it! I will take all the hate! Because if I have people in my life that live my family enough to support this amazing opportunity I will keep on keeping on... but please remove yourself from my PRIVATE page or reach out so that at least we can have a real conversation face to face... i would absolutely love that! I will be waiting....

If it’s been a bad year financially, it’s the best year ever to admit you think it’s prudent to cut back. Of all the things in a pandemic to fund, travel should be last on the list. Entitlement is the only thing being funded in this case.

Agreed. Given the plethora of other worthy causes right now and pandemic induced unemployment, asking friends/family to donate to an international soccer tournament just seems tone deaf at best
