Smaller countries like Belgium don't have any developmental funds for figure skating. Loena Hendrickx (sister of Jorik Hendrickx) has made it to the Junior Grand Prix but still has to finance going to these competitions herself. I guess this is the case for all skaters that don't have large federations behind them?
Not sure if it's allowed, but here is a link to Loena's crowdfunding campaign. Hope she manages to compete in those grand prix events the upcoming season!
