Help Juliana Go to LAMDA!!

Hey Everyone!
My name is Juliana and I just got accepted into LAMDA!! It's the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. It's an internationally renowned school in London that is offering me the opportunity to study shakespeare and deepen my skills and experience in classical works.
However, with my current financial situation it's going to be incredibly difficult for me to go. I will be $2,000 short due to my budget for an incredibly valuable classical program.
So I wanted to take this as an opportunity to show you who I AM and why you should invest in me.
I created a project of Henry VI part I with an all-female and latina cast to do something that was creative, gritty and empowering for Latina artists. It's titled "La Hotspur". I did this because while I was studying shakespeare I would watch videos and performances of many Shakespearen plays and saw no one capturing MY voice and MY experience as a Latina artist.
It took me a long time to feel like I deserved to study Shakespeare and with many of my latino friends they refuse to study Shakespeare because they feel like they would never be cast in it because of how they look and by who they are.
It's time to shut that perception down! This year is the 400th anniversary of Shakespeares' death and we need to celebrate diversity and inclusion! I want to empower my fellow latino and female community and be a positive contributing force to my fellow artistic peers.
I've already been accepted into LAMDA. They're offering me this opportunity now- but I can't do this without you.
MY Deadline is: May 22ND 2016
Watch my Video. Spread the Love. It's time to celebrate diversity in Shakespeare. Because Shakespeare truly belongs to ALL OF US.
