Tuition & Room For The NYFA



Driven, energetic, young woman made a decision to get out of her  current situation and create the life she is destined to have. My name is Sando Blahima and I was recently accepted into the New York Film Academy , New York City location to purse acting for film! The NewYork Film Academy is one of the best film schools in the country. I was extremely excited when I obtained my acceptance letter to the NY Film Academy , until the reality of my family financial issues surfaced. I'm the baby of the family and I'd also be the first of three children to attend college. The first semester begins May 26, 2015 and the tuition including room and board is approximately 40K; financial aid will be able to cover approximately 27% percent of the cost leaving the out of pocket expense about $29K. Without your assistance, I don’t think my destiny will become a reality. My mother lost her job in 2014 and now only works part time and is struggling to keep a roof over our heads so asking her for financial assistance is not possible. In fact going away to college will relieve some of her financial responsibilities for me. I'm trying to exhaust every possible avenue to raise 29K prior to May 26, 2015. I am currently working two part-time jobs and have tried various fundraising ideas to raise money such as bake sales , shoveling snow around my neighborhood,and doing odd jobs (lol). I am doing everything I can to save money for this once in a lifetime, life changing experience. I know this is my time; I’m supposed to be at NY Film Academy in May; I just need a little financial assistance to get me there . I want to start the journey toward my destiny and I also want to make my mother proud of me. Studying at the NY Film Academy will expand my horizons; perfect the craft of acting and one day I'll become an award winning actress which will enable me to help my mother, rest of my family financially and others ineed . However, I cannot help others unless I take the necessary steps to help myself. So I’m reaching out to everybody and anybody to help me make my dreams come true. Anything you can give will help toward my goal to attend the NY Film Academy. If I'm unable to raise the out of pocket tuition amount, I want to at least look back and know that I exhausted every possible way to raise the money (working, fundraising events – car wash, shoveling snow etc) The worst answer I can get is “No” so I figure why not give it a shot. Please give as much or as little as you can; every little cent counts. Thank you! You can all keep yourself updated on my progress & Film School Journey by viewing my blog !
