Go Romeo! A Milpitas gym is helping an 8-year-old gymnast who fled war-torn Ukraine keep his dreams of competing alive.
Game Time Elite Gymnastics have welcomed Romeo Zaichenko and his family with open arms, waiving the young gymnast's fees and reaching out to the community to offer more help.
"We have raised $3,000 now," Game Time Elite Gymnastics co-owner Nikki McClure said."We had two kiddos that actually gave up a week of camp to give those funds to support the family." For Romeo, hanging upside down from rings seems serene compared to the bombings he saw near his home in Ukraine.
