A smart basketball for Holland to master her hoop skills

Posted Jul 11, 2024
Holland absolutely loves basketball and dreams of playing professionally one day. Even though her family has a membership at a local YMCA, it's quite a drive for them, especially with all her siblings. She really wishes she could practice basketball all day, every day. Having a basketball with an app would allow her to practice for her games and have a great way to unwind when things get tough. Holland also loves playing with her siblings, and this special basketball would let her have fun with them while also being able to practice on her own. It's like having her own private coach right at her fingertips!

Holland is 9 years old and lives in MO

Holland was born with meth and marijuana in her system as a baby. Her family was blessed to foster her when she was one, and she is choosing to learn, grow, and thrive in her family's care. She has a heart of gold and is a friend to all. She is always helping and wants to spend all of her time with her family. She is sweet and outgoing and always wants to make a new friend, wherever she is. Holland has been through a lot in her short life but continues to prove to everyone she is strong and resilient.
