When soccer meets compassion, magic happens. Mariana and Zion Caplan, a mother-son duo from Portland, are turning the beautiful game into a global bridge of joy—sending 730 soccer balls to kids in 26 countries, all powered by volunteers. They’re not just giving balls; they’re asking kids what soccer means to them—family, community, team—and using that connection to unite diverse youth. With the World Cup in full swing, Portland Councilor Pious Ali has joined the cause, encouraging recipients to share their stories. This grassroots mission is scaling up, and they need your help to keep spreading the message: soccer isn’t just a game—it’s a universal language for peace.
