Community work is something we cherish and take seriously. You can either sit on the sidelines and just complain, or you can roll up your sleeves and make a difference. Morgan N Xeng Her (along with a few others) is definitely one of these guys that isn’t afraid to get dirty to make a difference in the community. When asked to help support Hmong Soccer Kids SummerFest, we did not hesitate to do our part.
Growing up, we didn’t have much. My first experience in organized soccer would require purchasing soccer gear on top of the registration fee. It’s a lot to ask of my parents given the other 5 siblings’ needs. Besides buying the cheapest pair of Adidas cleats I could afford, my friends were nice enough to give me their old pairs of shin guards and soccer socks to start out. I’ll never forget this kind gesture from Ben Becker and Jon Petersen. So over the years, I have been collecting various soccer gear like balls, shin guards and recently many pairs of Adidas Predators. In memory of my son, Gavin Lor, I made a request of Morgan. With his platform, I asked of Morgan to please help distribute these soccer gear to those families (who share my similar struggles) in developing a new generation of soccer players in our community. Please support this free HSK event!
