Dear friends, family, and community,

I'm reaching out to you today with a humble heart, hoping you can help me in a time of great need. As many of you know, I've always tried to live a life of kindness and compassion, helping those in need, whether human or animal, whenever I can or has been requested, a life with high values based in honesty and integrity.

But now, I'm the one who needs your help. After losing everything I owned in Australia, where I lived for over 16 years , as I got robbed by 3rd time in less than 4 years . Now I found myself stuck in Bali due to visa issues. Without being able to work, my savings have dwindled, and I'm facing a desperate situation. I literally got $4.67 in my account.

I'm not one to ask for help easily, but I'm running out of options. I'm trying to find online work to support myself, but I need to purchase essential tools to make that possible. It's a vicious cycle: I need the tools to work, but I need work to afford the tools.

That's where you come in. I'm turning to you, dear friends, in the hope that you can help me get back on my feet. Your contribution will go directly towards:

- Essential living expenses, like food, transport and accommodation, phone credit, and pet food (animals here are so sadly abandoned and I cannot feed myself without feeling I should feed them too)

- Online tools and resources to help me find sustainable work

- Visa application fees to resolve my immigration status

Every little bit counts, and I'm grateful for any support you can offer. Your kindness will not only help me survive this difficult time but also remind me that I'm not alone. I have 3 beautiful grand kids that I miss so much to see... and my two 'adult kids'.. This has been a lonely chapter of my life but God doesn't leave me alone.

If you're unable to donate at this time, I will understand , your kind words, and shares will still bring me hope and comfort.

I'm racing against time, as I'll have to check out of my hostel on Monday if I can't afford to stay. And I have just enough to afford one more meal. Your urgent support would be a lifeline.

Please, help me get back on my feet. I'm eager to regain my independence and continue living a life of purpose and kindness.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Love you all Xx
