Leylah here!
My family and I started this foundation because we believe access to character-building and life-changing opportunities through education and sports should never be limited.
My family has made great sacrifices to help me achieve my dreams. Built off generations of hardship, my family has allowed me and my sisters to be where we are today. This foundation is an extension of who we are as a family, and I want to help create opportunities for other children and individuals with the same passion and motivation. I can’t wait for what the future holds and all the work we’re going to accomplish together.
