Veronica Fraley is set to take part in her first Paris Olympics on Friday.
At this crucial juncture, distractions like unpaid rent in Nashville, Tenn., are not ideal for her, especially when she lacks the funds to cover it.
Fortunately, Veronica Fraley has received support from hip-hop icon Flavor Flav, billionaire Alexis Ohanian, and others.
Fraley, a graduate student at Vanderbilt University, clinched the NCAA discus championship with a record throw of 208 feet and 10 inches in Eugene, Ore. She secured a spot on the U.S. Olympic team in the event after the Olympic trials.
