[Nfbofsc] Question

Fri Apr 19 21:45:39 UTC 2019

Hi, Erica,

I agree with the person who said use Go fund Me.  Crowdfunding is the way things like this are done in 2019, and you have an extremely compelling cause that people will want to support.  I’ve done this for a couple years now to raise money for college expenses, and as long as you are active with social networking and have a compelling story, I’ve found it to be extremely successful.  I hope you consider doing this, and I wish you the best of luck on your journey.

Sincerely,
Sarah Massengale

My times have become very competitive and I have been asked to attend the World Grand Prix Desert Challenge Games in Arizona May 22-26! With success at this meet I could qualify for Team USA and earn a spot on their roster for the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo!
