Our Cesar-Kai family is coming together to support one of our most beloved students and leaders, Sophia.

Last weekend, Sophia underwent brain surgery and now faces a long road of recovery, healing, and rehabilitation. While we know there is still a long journey ahead, we also know that Sophia and her family do not have to walk it alone.

Sophia has been such a special part of the Cesar-Kai community. She has grown not only as a martial artist, but as a leader, role model, and friend to so many of our students. She has given so much of herself to our CKA family, and now it is our turn to give back to her. 🥋❤️

We are sharing her family's GoFundMe with the hope that our CKA community can come together and help ease some of the financial burden that comes with such an unexpected and difficult journey.

If you are able, please consider donating. No contribution is too small, and if you are unable to donate, simply sharing this post can help us reach more people.

🙏 Please keep Sophia and her family in your thoughts and prayers as she begins her long road to recovery.
