So where do I even begin? I have watched my video requesting your support at least a hundred thousand times. So I would like to start with the same words. Hi everyone, my name is Raquel. For the ones of you who don’t know me, I’m from Heredia, Costa Rica and we have made it.

If you’re watching any of this for the first time and have no idea what I’m talking about, in the last 45 days I’ve been asking for support in my social media to finance my dance therapy studies in Germany. After lots of ups and downs, cries, laughs and doubts, we have managed to reach and even surpass the goal and I will be able to start my dance therapy master this October. So this video is to thank all of you who were part of this journey. It’s been intense and you were there all along, watching my stories, sharing the link, booking private classes, talking to your friends and family about this.

Thank you very much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this dream come true. It’s been a huge learning what community and union can achieve. If you booked a reward, they will be soon coming your way and I’m so looking forward to finally send them because I have prepared them with so much passion and love. I’m so excited for you to see them. The fundraiser is still online for about 30 more hours, one more day and if you still feel like taking part or are particularly interested in one of the rewards, you still have a bit of time to book one and they will be coming your way too. If you’re interested in how this journey develops, make sure to follow me on social media and I will keep you updated.

Dear friends and community,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who donated, shared the link, or booked a class with me. There are only 3 days left, and we still need 2,678.- to make this dream a reality. The funds will only be received if we reach the full goal, so every bit counts! If you haven’t joined yet, now is the perfect moment to do so and bring healing through movement to many people.

With deep gratitude and lots of love,

Raquel
