SUPPORT AN ATHLETE TODAY

Many of the athletes who come to US bring very little with them, other than a sense of excitement and some trepidation due to the unknowns.

In addition to supporting athletes’ emotional well-being through regular check-ins (texts, phone calls, in-person visits, etc.), your gift will allow HoopsHome to provide the following:

  • Welcome Care Packages: (Approximate value of each package, with shipping, is $50): Upon arrival in the US, HoopsHome athletes will each receive a “hug by mail” in the form of care package, which will include simple gifts like snacks, food gift cards, a t-shirt, and school supplies.

  • Meeting Basic Needs as they arise: Clothing, toiletries, snacks, haircuts, meals while traveling with AAU teams.

  • School Expenses: Academic support, school supplies (including necessary technology), school fees for “extras” such as field trips.

  • HoopsHome Visits: Travel for athlete to host home for holidays, or travel for HoopsHome “In the Gap” Parent to visit athletes at their schools.

  • Urgent Needs:

    • Medical Expenses: For medical emergencies not covered by insurance.

    • Housing: Temporary housing during transition periods (both planned and unexpected).

    • Crisis Travel: When a family emergency arises (such as death of parent), HoopsHome supports athletes by assisting with their cost to travel home.
