Hello, my name is Yurani Rodríguez, I am a dancer is what I know how to do since I can remember and I really enjoy it, I will not tell you my whole story because I do not want to generate too much pity, this year I had a very important project for my artistic career, the job I had always dreamed of, with excellent conditions, good pay and magical scenarios, I rejected many opportunities for this job, in the month of February it is supposed, we would start the paperwork to be able to go and work legally in Turkey but there was a delay, so we started in March, one day my future boss calls me and He tells me that this year I will not be able to go with them because, someone told him that they were rejecting work visas for Colombians h that he was not going to risk his money creating a visa for me and that in the end it was denied, I spent several months having inappropriate jobs to be able to have everything necessary for that trip and a month before this happens, at that time I had no money or opportunities, so I started like crazy to look for opportunities because I really need to work and in Colombia without having any university degree it is very difficult to live or even survive. Finally I found a new opportunity only that I had to pay for everything on my own, flights, documentation and so on, money that I did not have and that I could not pick up even in a year of work, then my boyfriend offered to lend it to me with the condition of returning it to him a month after starting to work because it is the money to pay for his university, then I did the paperwork and bought the flights, two days ago I was at the airport ready to go to fulfill my dream, but it did not go as expected, my flight had a stopover in a country where I had to take a Visa to be able to make transit and I was not informed of that, so I could not go through migration, I lost all my materials because my suitcases if they were sent and now I owe a lot of money to my boyfriend, for all this I need his help to be able to pay off this debt, buy my materials again and be able to travel to Turkey, I would be grateful to you do not know what this means for my life. I apologize for my English because I know a little.
