Almost Time To Quit

As if the situation at home with her parents and with her cheating boyfriend wasn’t bad enough, financial struggle almost boiled over.

She was close to quitting when community members heard about the conundrum and leaped in to help. They financed Hope’s transport, which was the majority of the burden.

All through middle school she played soccer and turned heads with her speed, agility and focus. When she made it to high school, she tried her hand at goal keeping, but her coach pushed her to play forward.
