Hi, my name is Kathy Zhao, and after years of dedication and relentless hard work, I’ve achieved my dream—earning a spot on Team USA for Dragon Boat! This July, I have the incredible honor of representing our country at the 17th IDBF World Dragon Boat Racing Championships in Germany.

However, with financial hardships at home and only my single mother supporting me, this dream is at risk of slipping away. I really wish for the opportunity to travel and race with my team, that’s why I’m reaching out for your support. Any contribution, big or small, will help cover travel and competition expenses, bringing me one step closer to making this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity a reality.

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity—I truly appreciate it!
