Help me go to Brazil for a jiujitsu tournament!

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Helena Crevar. I am 14 years old, and I started jiujitsu when I was 8 years old, and have been training for 6 1/2 years. When I started jiujitsu, I was a little overweight. When my parents took me for a regular check up, the doctors performed several blood tests on me, and found out that my thyroid was slow and wasn't working properly. Because of the results, they then recommended that I should start training strength and conditioning. So, my parents took me to a gym where they had jiujitsu also, and the owner of the gym said that they have a jiujitsu class and I should try it. When I did, I never stopped. Also, when I started training jiujitsu, besides the physical health condition, I was really shy and didn't have much self esteem and confidence. Especially in the last couple of years, with the help of my professor Hector at Cobrinha BJJ Las Vegas and training, everything changed. Not just that I got amazing results at competitions, but also my confidence and self esteem has changed. Some of my major results in competitions include:
5x Pan Kids Champion
5x World Champion
2x Kids International Champion
1x American National Champion
9 wins at Fight to Win
4x Fight to Win Title Champion
Besides these physical benefits from jiujitsu, it has helped me to be more comfortable when talking around people. I had anxiety when I was smaller to talk with people, and now I am at the point where I am making my own instructional videos to show jiujitsu techniques. My goal is to share not just with my instructional videos, but also through seminars and to reach with other kids who are younger or my age, to not only teach them jiujitsu, but also help them overcome anxieties for competitions or raise their self confidence. My overall experience in physical and emotional part was created not just from training, but also from competing as much as I do. Every year, especially last year in 2021, I competed alot, some months almost every weekend. Me and my parents traveled alot throughout the USA and they gave me the most support. In order for me to challenge myself further on the competition stage and outside of the United States and to create new experiences, my plan and goal would be to compete this year in Brazil at the Brasileiros. My main goal with these competitions is to gain experience and learn more which I will be able to use in sharing and helping others with their jiujitsu goals through my seminars and instructionals.
