Help me reunite with my Käärijä family in Finland

Hi, I'm Sofia from Uruguay and in October this year (2023) I decided to fly to Europe to attend 3 gigs of Käärijä, the green bolero guy from Finland. This man happened to sell me a "husband" on stage (one crew member) but unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to meet him yet and I need money to come back to Europe to meet my "future husband".

This year a guy from Vantaa (Finland), wearing a bowl cut and a green neon bolero decided to go to Eurovision singing Cha Cha Cha, 100% in Finnish language. As a fan of Eurovision I felt in love with the performance as soon as I saw the staging, heard the music, the evolution of the song even not understanding a word of the lyrics but the performance was magnificently done that anyone could understand what was going on and at the same time having the feeling that you have no idea what is happening, but that's the magic of Käärijä and Cha Cha Cha. At that moment I was in a dark spot in my life, but the meaning of this song was like a calling for awakening. I dig about him and felt in love with his previous work and about the person behind the character of Käärijä, I immediately become a fan and his personal history resonated with mine as well due to several similarities. But not only Käärijä got my attention, also the talented crew that shares stage with him and specially the DJ, Allu. I investigated his career and all that was available on the net and I can say I felt a greatest admiration for him too.

But being a fan from so far is hard, the fear of missing out due to the time zone, not able to be part of any real live experience... so in July I decided to buy a ticket for a gig in Finland and lucky me Käärijä first EU tour was announced shortly after, so I decided to join for other 2 dates as well, while my life savings were being sacrificed to this adventure. It doesn't sound like a smart decision for a person on its +30s but heeding the call felt the right thing to do, an investment on happiness.

In October I travelled directly from Uruguay to Tampere in Finland, during the gig Käärijä asked what was the reason why I was in Finland, and instead of saying "because of Käärijä" I said "because of Allu" and the entire venue started a chanting for Allu while Käärijä being positively shocked by the situation he offered me to pay 10000€ to marry Allu (everything is part of the show, this is not for real). The video on social media got an unexpected great reception and the fandom showed support to the joke by offering the money (virtually). The video: Because Allu . In the next gig, in Germany, I made a banner that I got the 10000€ now I wanted the husband. Käärijä noticed it and made an auction on stage and that's how I earned a future husband. The video: Auction in Berlin

Unfortunately, the pace of the EU tour was too fast that there wasn't a moment to meet the entire crew, included Allu. Hence, I came back to Uruguay without having the chance to talk to him or a picture.

I've to say that thanks to Käärijä my life gained meaning again, I smiled again, laughed again, I felt free to be myself, it gave me a community that received me in an incredible kind way, it gave me dear friendships/family around the world, it opened my eyes to my career and the future, I gain motivation to learn languages again (a hobby of mine), and so many more beautiful things that won't fit in this text field.

I feel that I deserve the chance to come back to Finland, meet the crew and take a photo with Allu. I already spent all my savings, and my job isn't well paid, hence I am begging for help to achieve this goal to see my life saviours again and my Käärija family.

Love to all who have read this far.

Thank you,

Sofia
