Olivia Hoskins' Story

Hi! My name is liv and I’m 21 years old.

My hobbies include , trying new things , rock climbing , sledding , ice/roller skating, camping/fishing, spending time with family, seasonal/holiday events, anything competitive 😂 & I love a good word search. I graduated high school in 2021 with an advanced regents diploma and a welding certification. I currently work full time as an electrical mechanic at a motor repair shop and part time as an overnight unarmed security guard. I love to fight against statistics and and stereotypes which is why football was a great choice for me !

In high school I played basketball for 2 years, volleyball and softball for 1 (senior year). Softball became a passion even though it was new to me! My first year playing I was the captain , pitcher & was voted MVP! No matter what I do i put my all into it! I may not be the biggest die hard fan of football but this team means everything to me. It’s my chance to try something new that previously I never had the chance to. It gives me a feeling of camaraderie and we have so many good times and laughs I wouldn’t trade it for anything. As an adult I’ve never played for a team before & have never traveled doing sports. I am an athlete and it’s nothing more that I want than to help put the female athletes in Buffalo on the map!

Before the rebranding and change in ownership I already invested over $300 into my football career not including the new pads , cleats & helmet I was also required to purchase. On top of solely having to pay rent , utilities, car insurance & maintenance that’s big for me and I’ve been doing my absolute best with my financial compartmentalization.

It would mean the world to me if you could donate anything you can spare no matter how small! Thank you, even if you only read my story.

Sincerely- a proud player of the 716 Blizzard!!❄️
