My Travel Story

by: POLINA SHUT Start Date: Sep 17, 2025 - End Date: Jan 16, 2026
Hello everyone,

My name is Polina Shut. I am a professional aerial athlete and coach from Kazakhstan. In May 2025, I successfully qualified to compete at the World Aerial Championship, which will take place in Argentina at the end of October.

This is a unique opportunity not only for me personally, but also for my country, as aerial and pole sport is officially recognized in Kazakhstan but not yet funded by the state.

Unfortunately, all expenses — including flights — must be covered privately. The round-trip ticket to Argentina costs around 1.5 million KZT (≈ $3,000), which is far beyond what I can afford on my own.

That’s why I am reaching out here. I am asking for your support to help me raise $3,150 (≈1.58 million KZT). This amount covers the ticket and platform fees, so that I can actually reach Argentina and proudly represent Kazakhstan on the world stage.

Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference. Even $5 or $10 brings me closer to competing. If you cannot donate, simply sharing this campaign also helps a lot.

I promise to keep you updated with photos and videos along the journey — from training preparations to the championship itself. Your support will literally be what carries me across the ocean to make this dream possible.

With gratitude,
Polina Shut
