Former Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling performer and current freelancer Yuu earlier today went to twitter to make fans aware that her wallet had been stolen while she was in Germany, leaving her stuck in a different country with no money.
My wallet was stolen in a German city. I was very sad. I am sad and I can not do anything, I do not know how I came home. Now my money is zero. Sad.

The Wrestling community moved quickly to support the popular women’s wrestler as a GoFundMe was set up within the hour to raise money for Yuu, as of the time of this writing the campaign has smashed it’s original goal of £500 and is nearing £1,200.
I can not express this feeling of gratitude with words. I am sad and just tweeted. So I'm so surprised . I will leave Europe soon but I will be back soon, soon. This is my very special place. I can only give back a single reward. That is "wrestling". I love everyone. Thank you!

Yuu has been freelancing in Europe for the last few months wrestling for the likes of Westside Xtreme Wrestling, Over The Top Wrestling, RevPro, Fight Club: PRO and many more. She has gained a reputation as one of the nicest wrestlers in the business and has become a hit with fans thanks to her bubbly personality.
See you Copenhagen 🇩🇰
Thank you @BodyslamProWres 🙏🏻
I was happy to have many "YUU" calls from all the fans😌🍀一度来ただけではこの地のプロレスを知ることなんて絶対にできない。それに知って貰うには足りない。だからまた私はデンマークにきてプロレスがしたいです😊さあドイツに帰ります! pic.twitter.com/c9kymPB9x7

It has been heartwarming to see the Wrestling Community unite behind one of it’s brightest personalities in her time of need and Yuu has been nothing but thankful to her fellow wrestlers and the fans for helping her out. Wrestling fans can sometimes get a bad reputation but it’s times like this when the Wrestling Community proves it’s one of the best!
