Help Julia get her O1 Visa

Hello, everyone! I'm Julia, and I'm reaching out to share my journey and seek your support in making my aspirations a reality. I was born and raised in Poland, and for over a decade, I've dedicated my life to the world of acting.

Growing up, I seized every opportunity to nurture my acting skills. I attended a summer acting program in Paris, where I was able to meet some of my biggest mentors and learn different ways to train my craft. My journey took a significant turn when I had the incredible opportunity to attend the renowned Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York. This iconic institution, is a hallowed ground for actors, known for its commitment to the craft of acting. The education and experiences I gained at Lee Strasberg have been instrumental in shaping my acting career, providing me with the skills and insights to excel in the competitive world of performing arts.
In addition to my education, I've also had the privilege of associate-directing an off-off Broadway play titled "Scissors." This experience allowed me to broaden my horizons within the theater world and gain invaluable knowledge about the intricacies of live productions. What's more, I've written a play “Our House” that has been accepted into the New York Theater Festival. This play, which is deeply inspired by Poland and it’s tragic yet beautiful history, will be performed off-off Broadway in downtown Manhattan. I'm not only the playwright but also the star of this production, as well as produce, and I can't express how thrilled I am to bring this story to life on stage.
I've spent years honing my craft by immersing myself in books, practicing monologues, and watching countless movies and theater productions. Acting isn't just a career for me; it's my deepest passion and the driving force in my life. It's what I think about before I go to bed, and it's what inspires me to wake up every day.
I've also had the honor of being part of several recent film projects that have made a significant impact. These films have been showcased at various film festivals around the world, including The New York New Filmmakers Festival and the Boston Indie Film Festival.

Now, I'm faced with a new challenge on my journey. I'm seeking an O1 visa to continue my acting career in the United States. This visa is essential for me to stay and work in a country where I can continue pursuing my goals in the entertainment industry.
This is where I need your help. The legal process and associated fees for obtaining an O1 visa can be quite overwhelming for someone like me, but with your support, I can overcome this hurdle and keep pursuing my passion for acting. Your generous contributions will go towards covering the lawyer fees required to secure my O1 visa.
By supporting me, you're not just helping me achieve my goals, but you're also becoming a part of my journey. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference in my life and career. I'm immensely grateful for your support, and I can't wait to continue sharing my love for acting and my unique story with the world.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a part of my journey and helping me take one step closer to realizing my dreams.
