I'm Dariella, and I'm reaching out to you with a dream that burns brightly within me – the dream of pursuing higher education in the United States.
Life took an unexpected turn, leading me far from my homeland in Belarus to the welcoming embrace of Latvia, where dear friends became my pillars of strength. They offered me refuge, extending their warmth and care during a time of turmoil. You see, the political landscape in my homeland had grown tumultuous, and the shadows of war loomed ominously just beyond Ukraine's border, making it impossible to stay."
In the midst of life's hardships, I discovered my passion and purpose as a singer-songwriter, graphic, and web designer. While navigating the challenges of a world turned upside down by the Ukraine war, I embarked on an unexpected journey. Forced to leave my home in Belarus due to the political situation and the heart-wrenching conflict near the Ukrainian border, I found refuge in Latvia with caring friends who offered support during these uncertain times. It was during these difficult days that I turned to music and art as a source of solace and strength. Songwriting became my emotional outlet, allowing me to convey my deepest feelings and experiences. As I embraced my role as a freelance songwriter and vocalist, This work not only provided me with a means of sustenance but also served as a lifeline, offering a glimmer of hope in the midst of uncertainty. The path I've walked has been challenging, filled with uncertainty and obstacles. However, it is through these hardships that I have grown as an artist and as an individual. I've faced financial struggles, emotional hurdles, and the daunting task of rebuilding my life in a foreign land. Yet, with unwavering determination, I've turned adversity into a driving force for my creativity and ambition.
My journey as a songwriter and web designer is a testament to the human spirit's resilience and the power of creativity to illuminate even the darkest of paths. Your support not only aids in my pursuit of higher education but also enables me to continue sharing my artistry with the world. With your support, I can transform adversity into inspiration and build a brighter future.
During my freelancing and songwriting journey, something truly remarkable happened. I had the privilege of connecting with incredible individuals who not only appreciated my work but also cared deeply about my circumstances. Among these remarkable people is the president of ‘Gives in 48’, an organization with a heartfelt mission to support students in their pursuit of higher education in the United States. It all began when the president approached me for a unique project - crafting melodies for a musical he was working on.
As I lent my musical voice to his project, our collaboration grew stronger. But our connection didn't stop there. Over the course of three years, our communication evolved into something profound. He didn't just see my potential as a songwriter; he saw my potential as a student. It was his suggestion that opened up a new chapter in my life, one filled with the promise of education and personal growth. He recommended Christ for the Nations Institute (CFNI) in Dallas, Texas, as the place where my dreams could take flight. My dream is to study music and take courses with a special focus on missionary work. Gives In 48, a generous supporter, will handle the scholarship funds for my education at Christ for the Nations Institute (CFNI). To turn this dream into reality, I need your financial support.
The total cost for two years of education, which includes tuition, accommodation, and meals, amounts to $60,000. While my freelancing work can cover some everyday expenses, your contribution will be instrumental in making this dream come true.
As I set off on this new, unknown but beautiful adventure, I carry with me the hopes and dreams of a lifetime. With your invaluable support, I believe I can turn these dreams into a beautiful reality. Through all the challenges and difficulties, your generosity lights the way not only for me but for others facing similar challenges. I will highly appreciate it if you share this link with your friends and loved ones.
As a heartfelt thank you, each donor will receive a special gift - a copy of my song, "Your Smile," a piece of my heart, for free. Your donation is a beacon of hope, a reminder that even in the darkest of times, the human spirit can shine brilliantly. Thank you for being a part of my journey.
