Gullies Travel To Culver Academies

Dear All,

I hope you all are doing well.

As a parent no one wants to turn to others for help, we want to know that we can do all for our children.

It has been thirty years since my heart transplant and miraculously I am still here to write this for Avigail.

She has pulled off a miracle as great as me still being alive.

Being accepted to one of the best Prep schools for education and Ice Hockey.

Still, they have awarded Avigail $41,000 of financial aid out of a total needed of $61,000.

If you know anyone out there that wants to see Women’s Ice Hockey Gold returned to America.

Please consider passing the link below on to someone you think would want to make this miracle come true.

Sincerely,

Simon

Hello hockey fans.

My name is Stan Fischler and I've created this GoFundMe page to help my grand-daughter, Avigail Fischler, to cover her education expenses at Culver Academies in Indiana.

She hopes to enter as a freshman later this summer.

After two years of playing on a boy's hockey team in Thun, Switzerland -- against boy's teams -- Avigail has honed her hockey skills to sharpness and is ready to star on the American prep school scene.

Avigail chose Culver over two other prestigious hockey prep schools -- Shattuck-St.Mary's and Bishop Kearney. Culver's coach, his techniques and their conversations appealed to her.

A two-way defenseman, Avigail was an MVP on both her Swiss teams and is a hockey natural.

Therefore, it was perfectly natural for her to want to advance her skills up the hockey ladder where competition is keenest.

Having checked out Avigail the athlete and Avigail the student, Culver offered the highest scholarship available ($40,000) which left us 20 grand short. And that's the unabashed reason for this GoFundMe.

Since his heart transplant in 1993, Avigail's father, Simon Fischler, has suffered

several medical setbacks. As a result he has been unable to work and lives on a pittance of a pension. Avigail's mother, Lilach, has a modest paying job -- counselor at a home for the mentally impaired -- which just barely meets

minimum needs for her three children, Ariel, Odel and Avigail.

Everyone who has seen her play agrees that Avigail's potential as a hockey player is enormous.

And anyone who has conversed with Avigail in person comes away secure in the knowledge that this 14-year-old is wise beyond her years.

The goal of this GoFundMe is clear; collect enough so Avigail can learn and bring home a Gold medal in women’s Ice Hockey .

Thanks for your consideration.

Stan Fischler
