Help me move to Australia!

Donation protected
As some of you may know, I'm planning to move to Australia in late September/early October in order to not only experience the wonders of living in another country, but to also close the distance in my long-distance relationship with Tyler. After being the best of pen pals and friends for five years, last July I went to visit him and not only fell in love with Australia, but with him as well. In the short time that I was able to experience Australia, I felt like I was home. Now that Tyler has spent two months in America, and is back home, we feel that it's the right time to close the distance between us, and therefor I'm planning to move to Australia. Here's the thing, though. It's extremely expensive to relocate there. That's where I need some help, if anyone would be so lovely to help :) I will be applying for a year-long Work and Holiday visa, which will allow me to live their for 12 months, work for multiple employers up to six months at a time, and study for four months. However, this visa is $360 to apply for. This doesn't even account for the numerous health and police checks that need to happen as well. After I'm approved, next comes the plane ticket, which is around $1300 one way. On top of all that, I not only need to ship my stuff, but Australia has a rule about having around $3500 US to bring with you so you have enough to provide for yourself in the event that you don't find employment... It's all a lengthy, complicated, expensive process, but I'm sure I'll be able to meet my goals and dreams about moving here! I am absolutley determined to move. I have been working an insane amount of hours so I can fund the majority of it myself, but without asking for some help, I'm not sure I'll be able to make it all happen in the time frame I'd like. If any of you lovely people could help me out in any single way, I'd be forever grateful. Who knows... I might even send you a lovely care package from Australia in thanks <3
