<div>Help displaced Ukrainian figure skater and 2026 World Junior Medalist, Ivan Khobta, continue training in the U.S. and keep his skating dreams alive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ivan Khobta has dedicated his life to figure skating. Originally from Ukraine, Ivan trains in the United States with coaches Drew Meekins and Natalia Mishkutenok, and recently achieved a remarkable milestone: he and his partner, Hannah Herrera, won the bronze medal at the 2026 World Junior Figure Skating Championships—despite having skated together for only eight months.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ivan’s achievements are not only a testament to his talent and hard work, but also a source of pride for his home country of Ukraine during an incredibly difficult and important time. Through his skating accomplishments, he has helped bring positive attention and recognition to Ukraine on the international stage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However, Ivan is now facing a major obstacle. He originally remained in the United States through the Uniting for Ukraine parole program, which allowed Ukrainians displaced by the war to stay in the U.S. That program has now ended, and Ivan must apply for a new visa in order to remain in the United States, continue training with his partner and coaches, and be able to re-enter the country for training and competitions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The immigration process—including government filing fees and legal costs—is estimated to be around $10,000. In addition, while his visa status is being resolved, Ivan is currently unable to work, making it extremely difficult to cover both living expenses and the high costs of elite-level skating.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are raising funds to help Ivan cover:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Immigration and legal fees for his new visa (approximately $10,000)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Essential training expenses such as ice time, coaching, and equipment (approximately $7,000)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Basic living costs while he is unable to work (approximately $3000)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ivan and Hannah have already proven that they belong among the best young teams in the world. With your support, Ivan will be able to remain in the United States, continue training, and keep pursuing his dream while proudly representing Ukraine on the world stage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation—large or small—helps make that possible. Thank you for supporting Ivan’s journey.
</div>
