Housing while training for World Championships

Hey y’all!

First thank you for your time of even coming to this page.

I created this GoFundMe in hopes of raising funds to help with housing as I am trying to make the World Athletics World Championship team in Eugene, Oregon representing Team USA.

 

A little about me:

I am an unsponsored athlete. I attended the University of Oregon from 2012-2016. As an alumni my goal is to get to the World Championships and come back with a medal. I’ve represented Team USA’s senior teams on three occasions: 2015 World Championships in Beijing, 2019 Europe vs. USA, and 2019 World Championships. I have a silver medal from 2015. I was the 2019 runner up in the Long Jump at the USATF Championships. My personal bests are 10.92 in the 100 and 6.84 meters in the Long Jump. I attended on focusing more on the sprints this 2022 season. In 2021 I only had four consecutive weeks of training leading up to the Olympic Trials and still landing in 8th place. Due to health I was unable to train up until March and then had a lack of coaching leading up until the final weeks prior to the Olympic Trials. So I am very excited to see what this season beholds with World Champs being in Eugene. I’m calling this season #Homecoming2022. My Indoor/Outdoor USA Championships and Trials performances since 2015, (long jump, 100m and 60m events) I’ve placed 4th, 3rd, 12th(WC), 20th(WC), 7th, 5th, 5th, 4th, 2nd, 6th, 13th(WC), and 8th.

 

Now the reason for this GoFundMe:

As I previously stated I’m an unsponsored athlete despite my constant ability to show up at USA’s and preform. I was fortunate enough to be selected to join USATF’s High performance program where we were allowed to stay rent free to focus on training, but unfortunately in that same breath we received at 39 day notice on September 17th that the residency program had ended, we’d be cut down to one meal and we were to move off site by October 29th. 39 days to find a job that would accommodate my practices so I could find housing just wasn’t enough. I am fortunate my aunt took me in to stay on her futon for the time being. But to be the best I can be I need to be in a proper housing situation. I have found a community living situation but need help with funding as I continue to look for a job that accommodates my practice schedule which is from 11am-4/4:30pm and still allows me to get the proper rest. I know I can break the American Record in long jump. I know I can make this

World Championship Team and I know I can Medal. I just need Proper resources again. My coaching staff is where it needs to be. I just need the life off the track to be better so I can make the training easier and get the maximum capacity of it all, including proper recovery.
