She plans to continue to collect items throughout the year. Reaching out to her fellow teammates and families,” Ive stated. These items would be donated to the Sama Foundation upon collection.
She promised to strengthen the relationships between the two clubs and the Foundation with an open communications and how it could become sustainable in the interest of all.
