Tragedy and Triumph

After 2 years young and talented Anibal's life changed forever... a huge tragic loss in his family was followed by a huge opportunity in his soccer career! With these dramatic highs and lows we are in awe of his continued humility and strength, now more than ever he is stepping up as his whole family puts their hopes for a better future in his pursuit of a dream.

"What Soccer teaches me is the importance of a team in being there for each other, respecting each other and staying united... It made me so happy to know that my team is there for me in good times and in bad times."
-- Anibal Chala, 15, speaking of the support he received from his teammates when his father passed away. (less info)
