Latvian Sofja Stepcenko is running gofundme campaign to help normalize her life after extremely tough mental health challenges linked to her past coaches.
I've personally met Sofja last week in Switzerland, and so far it's the most extreme case of post-Soviet coaching trauma I’ve witnessed in my life (and I've seen a lot with Ukrainian skaters in the last 20 years). I don't think the term "mental health challenges" adequately describes what she had gone through.
There will be a large interview with Sofja out soon.
Consider helping her out in this tough period of her life. Nobody deserves to go through the hell she went through just because they chosen to be a figure skater.
