Canadian midfielder Mark-Anthony Kaye was raised by a single mother, and he hopes to use his platform to help single parents and their children.
Mark-Anthony Kaye didn’t have it all growing up. In fact, life in Toronto was often a challenge for Mark-Anthony and his mother Novelette.
“If somebody was crying, he would go over to make sure that they were OK and give a little hug and stuff like that,” Novelette said. “And he was good with his brothers. He was really good with his brothers as well.” “It wasn't until I started to understand how the world worked, until I realized that my mom was dealing with some odds against her,” Mark-Anthony said. “But she did a really good job to make us not realize that.”
“She would always like to make sure I got on the right bus,” Mark-Anthony said. “It was this blue phone that only had, like, three buttons and you had to program the numbers in, because back then it was the early 2000s and that's what it was like.”Five years after first playing the sport he loved, Kaye’s soccer career nearly came to an end.
“I got a job and I was able to pay for my soccer that year, which was really cool,” Mark-Anthony said. “But again, stepping into the workforce made me understand how much sacrifice my mom had to make to make sure me and my brothers had the opportunities we did.” Even with all his success on the big stage, Kaye still credits his mother for everything he has earned.
