A kicker for Jesuit Preparatory School is using his goals for a bigger purpose than himself.
"I love playing football," varsity kicker Noah McGough said."I am blessed to be able to come out here and kick. God has gifted me with the amazing ability, and at the start of the season, I knew I wanted to use it to do something more than just kick field goals for my team.""A lot of times, we're the last stop," Men of Nehemiah Executive Vice President Melinda Russ said.
McGough decided to take pledges for points he scores in each game. He thought he might raise a few hundred dollars. He's already raised more than $27,000, and the season isn't over yet. "One of the coolest moments of my season is we got to play at SMU Stadium and all the men came out to support me," McGough said smiling."Just to get to kick and see the happiness that they have, it fills me with so much joy!""His heart is to put purpose behind his gift," Russ said."Which is honestly what I think we all should be doing."
"Every kick is important, but this year all the kicks have a little bit more significance," McGough said."I just feel thankful."36-year-old's Etsy side hustle brings in up to $54,000 a month, takes 10 hours a week — it paid off her student loan debt
