Help Juliet Take the Next Shot Toward Her Dream

Juliet Amani, a vibrant and determined member of City Voices’ Friendship Squad, is taking bold steps toward her basketball dreams. With the support of her Squad peer, she’s working hard to turn aspiration into opportunity—but she needs a little help from her extended community.

She’s currently raising just €200 (around $215 USD) to cover the cost of basketball training that could set her on the path to success. The GoFundMe is in euros, but don’t let that hold you back—most credit cards and payment platforms handle currency conversion seamlessly, with only a small difference in the final amount charged.

Your generosity can help Juliet get one step closer to the court—and to a future she’s fighting for. Thank you for standing with her.
