My heart breaks to share that my dear friend and fellow adult skater, Chisom, recently woke up to a shocking event—her car was broken into, and nearly everything inside was stolen. Among the items taken were her cherished figure skates, all her skating gear, and several other irreplaceable personal belongings.

Skating has been more than just a hobby for Chisom—it’s been a source of joy, strength, and connection. Losing her gear (as all skaters can imagine) has been incredibly difficult, both emotionally and financially.

As members of the adult skating community, we always rally for each other in times of need. If you’re able, please consider donating to help Chisom begin to rebuild. Whether it’s $5 or simply sharing this page, every bit of support helps—and means more than you know.

Let’s help Chisom lace back up and return to the ice she loves.

Thank you so much for your kindness.
