Hello, my name is Yana Nikolaeva Shumova. In September I will be 23 years old, and all my life I have carried a dream in my heart - to study film art.

Since I was a little girl, I have believed that cinema is magic - a way to tell a story, to inspire and touch people's souls. Over the years, this dream has not only not faded, but has become even stronger. After I graduated from high school I tried to take the next step towards my dream, but unfortunately I faced a big challenge and due to personal and financial difficulties I was not able to.

This year I decided to fight again so that I could finally fulfill my deepest wish.

At home I faced difficulties due to very limited selection when applying, but luckily for me I expanded my horizons and applied abroad too - and the miracle happened! I have been accepted to the university " NABA - Milano",one of the most prestigious art universities in Europe. It was one of the happiest days of my life because my dream was at my fingertips.

But now I'm facing the big test again- the financial side.

I have tried all sorts of options, but I can't do it alone. I need a start of 10,000 euros - which is the fee for the first year, accommodation and to survive the first few months until I get on my feet.

I believe that every person who has ever had a dream will understand my wish. If you have the opportunity to support me- with a donation or just by sharing my campaign- you will give me the chance to turn my childhood dream into reality.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who will help a grown child make their big dream come true.
