A soccer center in Brooklyn is providing an important sense of community for migrant families.
The Sofive Brooklyn Soccer Center is giving migrant children from around the world the chance to play soccer in a fun environment for kids."I feel cheerful," a mother of three from Venezuela said.She said that her family is seeking asylum here in the United States. The mother said explaining the bi-monthly Saturday soccer schedule to her 10-year-old son Daniel, 8-year-old son Dilan, and four-year-old Fabian is now part of their routine.
For these children and their families, this is about much more than soccer, it's about laying roots here in New York City."We’ve been here a year," the mother from Venezuela said. The mother told FOX 5 her family lives in a city-operated shelter for migrants and right now paying for a program like this would not be possible."Parents can feel frustrated over not having the capacity to pay," she said.
