Help Nohelia get to the University of Memphis

Hello! My name is Nohelia Gomez Lejedt, I am 23 years old and I am a Venezuelan pianist. A month ago I was contacted by a Venezuelan Violinist who resides in Memphis, she passed the info that the University of Memphis was recruiting Piano undergraduate students. Right after sending her some videos of my performance as a pianist, I was contacted by Dr. Jonathan Tsay, renowned pianist and professor at the University of Memphis. We had a trial class via zoom, and I was immediately admitted to study Piano at the University of Memphis (USA) with a full scholarship, including housing and food. I am very excited about this opportunity that has fallen from the sky! However, we all know that getting to the United States is not easy, I must cover expenses related to the visa ($ 400), the certification of my notes in the United States ($ 250), roundtrip ticket costs to Bogota for the appointment of the visa and for Memphis (approx $ 2000) plus other expenses. And that is why I need your help to fulfill my goal of studying with this wonderful teacher at this great University.

A little more about me! I started in the world of music when I was 8 years old in my hometown (El Tigre - Anzoátegui, Venezuela) and my first instrument was the violin. A year later, I had the opportunity to take piano lessons, and I fell so in love with the instrument that I decided that I would never be apart of it. I have been playing piano for 14 years and I have also stood out as a composer, winning the second prize in the category of collective composition for the work "Camino a la Esperanza" at the Creative Music Contest in Madrid, Spain.

Here I would like to share with you a link of me performing the Chopin Scherzo No. 3 Op.39

¡Hola! Me llamo Nohelia Gomez Lejedt, tengo 23 años y soy pianista venezolana. Hace un mes fui contactada por una Violinista Venezolana que reside en Memphis, ya que la Universidad de Memphis estaba reclutando estudiantes de Pre-grado. Justo despues de mandarle videos de mi desempeno como pianista, fui contactada por el maestro Dr. Jonathan Tsay, reconocido pianista y profesor de la Universidad de Memphis. Tuvimos una clase de prueba via zoom, e inmediatamente fui admitida para estudiar Piano en La Universidad de Memphis (USA) con beca completa, incluyendo vivienda y comida. Estoy muy emocionada por esta oportunidad que me ha caido del cielo!!! Sin embargo todos sabemos que llegar a los Estados Unidos no es fácil, debo cubrir gastos referentes al visado ($aprox 400), a la certificacion de mis notas en Estados Unidos ($250),  costos de pasajes ida y vuelta para Bogota para la cita de la visa y para Memphis (aprox $2000) . Y Por eso necesito su ayuda para cumplir mi meta de estudiar con este maravilloso maestro en esta gran Universidad. 

Un poco mas sobre mi! Comencé en el mundo de la música a los 8 años en mi ciudad natal (El Tigre - Anzoátegui, Venezuela) y mi primer instrumento fue el violín. Un año después, tuve la oportunidad de recibir clases de piano, y quedé tan enamorada del instrumento que decidí que nunca me separaría de él. Tengo 14 años tocando piano y también me he destacado como compositora, siendo ganadora del premio accésit en la categoría de composición colectiva por la obra "Camino a la Esperanza" en el Concurso Música Creativa de Madrid, España.
