Marcella Isabel is my 13-year-old daughter, and she has been skating for 4.5 years with incredible determination and passion. This year, she’s been invited to represent Venezuela at the World Skate event in Paraguay in October—a huge milestone for her and a proud moment for our family. To help her prepare, we’re also attending a month-long skate camp in Brazil this summer, which will give her the training and experience she needs to compete at the highest level.

Marcella has always dreamed of going to the Olympics, and this is the first step toward making that dream a reality. The timing of these events means we need support right now to cover travel, meals, lodging, coaching, new boards, and shoes. For World Skate, we’ll be in Paraguay three weeks before the competition so Marcella can get comfortable with the bowl, practice her runs, and pump up her game. After Worlds, she’ll head to San Diego for more exposure—where she won first place in 2024!

Marcella has worked so hard to get here, and every donation will go straight into funding her Olympic journey. She thanks you with all her heart, and I do too! Let’s gooooo!
