Hunter Rogers financial assistance with Berlin Opera Academy

Dear Everyone,

As some would already know, I have been accepted into the Berlin Opera Academy Program from July 2024, which is an honour to me and to my family and friends to whom have been very supportive. Due to the costs related to the distance I need to travel, living expenses and the duration of the program, I am opening a Go-Fund-Me to ask if anyone would like to help sponsor me to ease the burden of the monetary costs that I need to have in order to participate in the program.

Due to the focus of needing to study my role of Dr Bartolo in The Marriage of Figaro (Top Priority) and the role study of Papageno in The Magic Flute to the best that I can do, I had to take it easy on the working hours of my regular job at the Casino, which are usually grave shifts. And due to that lifestyle it was far too difficult to practice, the final straw was getting respiratory sicknesses far too often in the environment there.

So I have resigned from my job just recently and have moved back to my family's house in South Australia to get healthy and to really focus on preparing for this program. Other reasons as well that I have to go into surgery for a Hernia on June 4th which was also caused by working the heavy jobs.

Due to this decision, I will be not be earning much of an income for a while.

I have placed the funding goal at ~3-4 months of living expenses to be able to live in Berlin (as well as fees associated to Go-Fund-Me) as I will also be seeking out other opportunities within the Opera world there, my chances a much higher in Germany than they are in Australia.

I know it looks optimistic but Go-Fund-Me allows people to receive funding even if it hadn't reached it's goal. I would be extremely grateful to anyone who can help me out, I am not really one for asking for help, but given the circumstances I have reneged on that sentiment.
