Team USA 2018

I am  a 39 year old track and field athlete and my event is the long jump. This year I will be representing Team USA in the Masters World Track and Field Championships in Malaga, Spain. In 2015 I was homeless and sleeping in my car while preparing for my first world championships in Lyon, France. I placed 36th. I was sad and cried but immediately went home and started preparing for my 2nd world championships. In 2016, in Perth, Australia I competed once again and hungry to redeem myself. After a year of working on my weaknesses and no coaching, just  me and YouTube, I placed 11th. This year 2018, it looks like a will medal. Made some major improvements and changes now that I have a coach helping me.  I am confident that I will not come back on USA soil empty handed.
    The donations I am asking for will help me overcome the first major hurdle early which are my travel expenses mainly flight and my room. The earliest I book, the cheaper it'll be. Competition is September 4-16, 2018 so I would love to have my flight booked ASAP.  Your support is greatly appreciated. I worked hard the past few years not only to win the gold, but also improving my marks and even out jumping some high school athletes half my age.
