#Support Sam and Val to The Juilliard School

Help Us to Continue to Study at Our Dream School: The Juilliard School!

Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters:

This past spring we learned that we were both accepted to the prestigious Juilliard School in New York, USA. This incredible opportunity has allowed us the opportunity to further our education and pursue our passion for the arts at one of the most renowned institutions in the world under the tutelage of Mr. Kevin Short.

However, the blessing of this new chapter in our lives has brought financial challenges that we did not initially expect. Costs such as our visa fee, acceptance fee, SEVIS fee, travel, health insurance, and living expenses in New York City has proven more than we can bear. We have spent everything we have on keeping till the end of our first semester at Juilliard. As such, we are humbly seeking your support to help us cover these necessary expenses to continue our education and lives in New York City.

Because of our lack of funds, we currently rely heavily on food banks and travel 3-hours per day to Juilliard because we cannot afford to live closer to the school. We are immensely grateful for any support you can offer, as we fear we will not be able to continue without additional support.

Our Financial Needs:

1. Housing: $9,000

2. Health Insurance: $4000

3. Other Living Expenses: $2000

Total Amount Needed: $15,000 for both of us.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference and bring us closer to achieving our dreams. Your support will not only help us to continue our studies at The Juilliard School in New York but also enable us to focus on our studies and artistic development and lessen the burden of financial stress.

We promise to keep you updated on our journey and progress at Juilliard. Your generosity will be a part of our story, and we cannot wait to make you proud.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and support.

Warm regards,

Samuel Olaitan Oloniyo and Anosike Valentine Raymond.
