Hi, I'm Maria Teresa Puri, and I'm thrilled to share that I've just secured 2nd place at the KWC Canadian Nationals on August 23rd. As one of the two soloists selected to represent Canada at the Worlds Championships in Bangkok, Thailand, I'm eager to take on this incredible opportunity in November. To make this dream a reality, I'm reaching out for support to help cover my food and expenses during the trip. As I've just returned from maternity leave and haven't accrued vacation hours yet, I'm facing a tight budget, but I'm determined to make this experience happen.
