Making the Olympic team is a dream I’ve chased for years, but it’s not just my dream. It belongs to my mom, too.

She’s been there for every early morning, every setback, every moment when quitting would’ve been easier than continuing. She believed in me long before medals, cameras, or Olympic announcements were ever part of the picture. When no one else could see how big this dream was, she did.

Recently, I was officially named to the Olympic team. It’s one of the proudest moments of my life and the only thing missing is having my mom there to witness it in person.

The Olympics aren’t just a competition. They’re a once-in-a-lifetime moment. A moment I want to share with the woman who sacrificed so much to help me get here emotionally, financially, and unconditionally. From supporting my training to encouraging me on the hardest days, she never asked for recognition. She just showed up.

Travel, lodging, and Olympic-related expenses add up quickly, and bringing her along is more than I can manage on my own right now. That’s why I’m asking for help.

If you choose to donate, you’re not just helping cover a flight or a hotel. You’re helping reunite a mother and daughter at the biggest moment of my career. You’re helping say “thank you” to someone who poured everything into a dream that finally came true.

Any amount means the world. If you can’t donate, sharing this page is just as powerful.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of this journey. I wouldn’t be here without support and that includes yours. ❤️
