ACROBAT REPRESENTING UNITED STATES AT WORLDS!
Donation protected
Hi! Our names are Monday and Michelle, and we are Team moms for a sport called Acro Gymnastics. We are raising money for a single mom named Amy Strawn so that she can go see her daughter Bethany Strawn compete at the World Competition in March. It is in Baku, Azerbaijan, which is very far away from San Antonio, Texas!
This moment, the Acrobatic Gymnastics World Championships is the moment Bethany has been training for her whole life, and it's finally here. But not without some hardships.
Amy has been a single mom since Bethany was born and works two jobs just so that Bethany can excel at the sport she has been doing since she was six, Acrobatic Gymnastics. (Athletes and moms lovingly call it "Acro".)
Amy and Bethany are originally from Laguna Hills, Ca. Bethany started her Acro career in Southern California, but when Covid hit, all of the CA gyms had to shut down, and there was no hope for a season. So Amy picked up her whole life, left her mom, and moved to San Antonio, where they found a new home gym. Bethany started with a trio, where she (and two partners) placed 3rd at nationals in the Jr. Elite category. She then tried to be in two different pairs, but after mishaps and injuries, she finally found Trent. With VERY little time (2 months) before World tryouts, they worked their butts off and made the team!
Amy now works two full-time jobs in San Antonio, so she can afford to send Bethany to practice, buy leotards, and all of the other expenses that come with being a high-level athlete. Amy already paid close to $3K for Bethany's trip to Baku, but she can't afford to go herself. She has sacrificed so much in her life for her daughter that we think she deserves to go to Baku to see her compete! Would you help her? Any small amount helps!
