Sending Isaiah to Summer Nationals

Hi, I'm Isaiah Ogbeifun and I am raising money so I can compete in this year's North American National Championship for fencing which takes place in St, Louis Missouri(June 28-July 1). Here is a little story about me. I am of African and South American descent, and fencing was always a sport I wanted to participate in. When I was in middle school a fencer gave a demonstration of what Olympic fencing was and I fell in love with the sport immediately. When starting my freshman year, I was unable to join the team because my Mother just gave birth and I knew it would be unfair for her to carry a newborn everywhere just to watch me fence, so I put it on hold. During the fencing team's offseason (which I wasn't a part of yet), i started training at my current club New Jersey Fencing Alliance. With only 2 years of training and 1 year of competitive fencing I have accomplished so much in the local aspect of this sport( Making the all-state team, and also being stated as "one of the best high school fencers in the state").
I feel as though it is only necessary to step it up a notch or maybe two, but that's only with your help. Fencing is very expensive, traveling around the world and booking hotels isn't really affordable, but qualifying for Nationals is what is pushing me to not only fence nationally but internationally.
Any donation is gratefully appreciated. Even if I reach my targeted amount at this time and more still comes, i'll put the excess towards future expenses when I begin to fence internationally.  A little side note:  A short-term goal of mine is to be top 5 in the Country and a long-term goal is to eventually qualify for the Olympics.
