How we help
Here at Dream Addiction we do our best to support this young athlete's dream by sending high-performance gear and equipment to match his rivals.
How you can help
Competing across the country gets costly with food, lodging, and travel. So Samuel and his dad are always taking donations to keep the dream going!

Empowering local brands and artists
We are committed to supply Samuel with high quality and stylish gear. One way to do that is by partnering with local artists and skate shops for such.
