Help Jonathan's figure skating recovery

Donation protected
Hi! My name is Jonathan Guo, I just turned 15 years old and I am a figure skater, I have been skating since age 8 and i really love the sport.  I am a five-time provincial champion of Ontario, three-time sectional champion, top 12 out of 50 at Canadian nationals 2016 and many more awards. In November 2017 I was involved in a motor vehicle accident which injured me, this was less than two weeks away from Canadian nationals and I was a real medal contender. I had already mastered two triple jumps. I had no choice but to withdraw from nationals, this was devastating to me as I had worked very hard to get to that point and now I couldn't go.  I was off the ice for over 6 months and in this time I became very depressed and gained roughly 40 pounds.

When i finally returned to the ice, I couldn't do anything, it was really frustrating. I had decided I wanted to quit skating, but after thinking about it I didn't want to just give up, I still wanted to try. I have since lost quite a few pounds and my skating has been improving and my triple jumps are starting to come back.

With the new season coming, I recently got my U.S green card and I want to compete at the U.S nationals as I will have more opportunities than in Canada . Figure skating is also a very expensive sport because it includes ice time,coach fees, choreographers,ballet and many more..  ,therefore,money is very important. I have been working very hard lately and my skating skills have been getting better. This christmas I am planning to visit a very famous coach to help me get to nationals and my family is struggling financially, so we would really appreciate some donations. 

All donations will help! Small or large it will help me and my journey greatly! Thank you!
