Dear friends and family,

My name is Emma, and I am 13 years old. For over three years, I have been passionately training in aerial gymnastics, a sport that has brought me immense joy and countless opportunities. I am excited to share that I have earned an invitation to compete at the National Championships in Kansas City, Missouri! This is a dream come true for me, as I have worked hard and won several medals at other various competitions.

However, I need your help to make this dream a reality. We need to raise funds for the registration fee, plane tickets, a hotel room, transportation, and meals while we are in Kansas City.

Here's a breakdown of the costs we need to cover:

Registration Fee: $350 (for a solo routine and group routine)

Coaches fee: $300

Costumes: $200

Jacket: $100

Backpack: $130

Plane Tickets: $867

Hotel Room: $788

Transportation: $300

Food Expenses: $500

Total: $3,500

I am reaching out to you, my amazing community, to help support my journey. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference. Your support will not only help me compete at the national level but will also show me the power of community and encouragement.

In return for your kindness, I promise to share my journey with you every step of the way, from training updates to my experiences at the championship. I am so grateful for your support and belief in my dreams.

Thank you for helping me soar!

With love and gratitude,

Emma
