Keep them on the field.

Even $5 puts a kid in a uniform — and keeps him off the streets.

The problem — by the numbers.

How bad?

0

homicides in 2024 — a national record, on an island of about 100,000 people

Compared to what?

0

murders per 100,000 — the 2nd-highest homicide rate in the Western Hemisphere

Why the kids?

0%

youth unemployment — nearly triple the world average. Nothing to do, nowhere to belong

The answer

Football is how Barrouallie fights back.

When the main playing field moved, the kids lost the thing that kept them busy, kept them close, and kept them out of trouble. Rocky — Barrouallie's own — is putting his childhood team back on the field: uniforms, boots, and match fees, with every receipt posted. The rest of this page is how you join him.

The receipts

Last Christmas, every pair found feet.

Rocky already did this once — boots and keeper gloves collected abroad, carried home, and handed out on the village field. Photos, not promises. That's how this campaign works.

Your part

What your gift becomes.

Not a checkout — a promise. Money goes person-to-person by Venmo or Zelle, and every dollar turns into something a kid wears onto that field.

No cash? Gear counts just as much — send boots, kits, or balls →
