Zlata Shymuk is a Ukrainian native has been skating with Disney on ice for 8 years. She was currently on a US tour this season until her mother became ill. Zlata made the decision to return to Ukraine to take care of her. Unfortunately She returned home only a few weeks before the city she grew up in was attacked by Russia. She has now dealt with what I can imagine being the most difficult time in her life. Taking care of her ill mother and dealing with an active war. She needs our help. The expenses her and her family will endure are unimaginable. Any amount of gratitude would be greatly appreciated. Please share this post with anyone you know. The skating world is small, but I’m hoping to make a big difference.
