Elizabeth 'DreadPirate Robyn' Cook hasn't added a story.
I met Gina through her fresh meat camp in Roller Derby. The first few days were very tough on her - She (much like me) hadn't been in a physically demanding sport before. Through all of her struggles the first weeks, she kept apologizing, but she kept TRYING.
Through all of her struggles, I learned that she was physically and mentally VERY strong. We all also learned very quickly that before anything else, Gina (who we now call IBQ or Italian Booty Queen) is a mom. She brings her younger children to derby events, where they get to see what an incredible woman she is. (And where we all got to interact with them and watch them be "mommed" instead of us!) They were able to come to charity events and fundraisers and see what roller derby does for communities.
After some time in derby, IBQ was offered an opportunity to move to another town for a better position and became engaged to a wonderful fellow skater who treats her children like they are his own. The kids are enrolled in skating classes and continue to be part of her new derby family. Though this move should have been a fantastic time in her life and the lives of her children, it was overshadowed by an awful (and very expensive) custody battle.
She has now reached the point of not being able to afford roller derby, or fun activities for the children, or home repairs....etc.
Please help us in our efforts to help IBQ pay her attorney fees so that she can continue to participate in our roller derby family.
