Monica Aksamit, a 29-year-old Olympian from New Jersey, has started a GoFundMe to send her to the 2020 Games in Tokyo.
Monica Aksamit, 29, of New Jersey, told news outlets that she turned to online crowdfunding because the costs of travel and training are too much for her to finance while also supporting herself and paying off previous debt.
This is not the first time she has had to turn to the internet for help — before the 2016 Olympic Games, she had also been compelled to crowdfund. She further wrote that the funds would help her pay for her regular commutes from New York City to New Jersey, as well as for room and board when she travels abroad and to different states to compete in national and international competitions.
