Sacrifice, Love, and ‘Team Family’ lifting Sachia Vickery to tennis elite
In 2013, Paula Liverpool, single mother of Sachia Vickery, put together all of the money she had at her disposal so that Sachia could go to the United States Tennis Association National Junior Championships in San Diego. Liverpool and Vickery, who live in Miramar, Florida, were going to stay with a friend instead of a hotel, in order to save on accommodations. After a few days, however, the friend had to make room for unexpected relatives, leaving Vickery and Liverpool without anywhere to stay, and without the budget for a hotel.
