Hi its stephen I arrived back in australia 2 years ago and have been separated from my wife for all that time due to our slow emigration system.

The move back, the cost of the visa and the fact that even working 55 to 60 hours a week at uber I am not making enough to cover weekly expenses has meant that my savings are now gone and I owe the tax department money.

My recent kidney cancer diagnosis means I need an operation and a period of recovery.

We have asked for priority processing on Bernas visa so she can be here to support me through my surgery but we need the funds to bring her here and help for the time I will not be able to work.

I did not imagine I would be in this situation but a number of setbacks with the GFC then covid has landed me here asking for help.
