Help Teacher Get to USAW Nationals

I'm a school teacher of 20 years who fell in love with the sport of Olympic Weightlifing at the age of 41.  Even after surgery to repair my shoulder from an accident and a spinal fusion to repair bum genetics, I am now able to compete. I've been through physical therapy and trained very hard for the last two years with a coach who has helped me find the first sport I've ever been good at in my life. I competed in five USAW sanctioned weightlifting meets in 2017 and 2018.  My proudest moment was winning Gold at the NC State Championships this year in my age group and weightclass.  I qualified as a 64kg weightlifter to compete in Salt Lake City, UT in March 2019 at the Masters Nationals Championships.  
However, as a devoted educator, I need your help to get to the National platform.  Airfare, hotel costs, and transportation in Utah will run upwards of $1000.  I greatly appreciate any help to make this once in a lifetime chance a reality.  Thank you Shoofly Barbell Club, and everyone’s support, for helping make this dream come true.
