Hi everyone, and thank you for taking a moment to read my story.

My name is Rosália (29), petmom (Jackie), originally from Brazil and already 10 years living in Germany.

I’m reaching out because I’ve found myself in a difficult situation. I recently lost my residency status in Germany after accidentally missing the expiration date on my visa. Unfortunately, it’s now too late to renew it from within the country.

To fix this, I’m required to leave the Schengen area for 3 months before I can apply for a new visa. This means I need to cover the cost of round-trip flights so I can leave and later return legally.

I’m raising funds only to cover these travel expenses, but if donations exceed the amount needed for the tickets, the extra will help me pay the bills I’ll have to leave behind during these three months.

This situation has been stressful and unexpected, and any help, big or small, would make a real difference. Thank you so much for your support, kindness, and for sharing this if you can. Obrigada!
