<div><span>Today is my birthday, and if I could wish for one thing, it would be my health.</span>
</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>A few days ago, I experienced a serious slip-and-fall accident that resulted in a fractured bone in my left hand—the same hand I rely on every day to play the violin and create music. As many of you know, <strong>music is not only my passion; it is also my livelihood and my life’s purpose.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This injury has left me devastated. After consulting with doctors and reviewing my recovery plan, I have been advised to stop performing for at least the next couple of weeks so my hand can heal properly. As a professional violinist, that means I am unable to work during this time and will be facing both lost income and significant medical expenses.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Anyone who knows me knows that asking for help does not come naturally to me. I have always worked hard to support myself through my music and have dedicated my life to bringing joy, inspiration, and unforgettable experiences to others through my performances. But this is one of those moments when life presents a challenge that is completely beyond my control.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you have ever attended one of my performances, enjoyed my music, shared a special moment with me at an event, or simply believe in supporting artists during difficult times, I humbly ask for your help.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>* Medical expenses and treatment

</div>

<div>* Recovery and rehabilitation

</div>

<div>* Essential living expenses while I am unable to perform

</div>

<div>* Helping me return to the stage as soon as possible

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you are unable to contribute financially, sharing this campaign with your friends and family would mean the world to me.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My goal is simple: heal fully, regain strength in my hand, and get back to doing what I love most—making music and sharing it with all of you.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support, your prayers, and your kindness during this difficult chapter of my life.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With gratitude,

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Kostia Lucky
