Keeping our family together

Donation protected
Hi everyone my name is Marcin, due to many years suffering with ME/CFS I didn't expect to meet anyone however on going for treatments to London I met my partner Mimi, we soon became more than friends and although medically I was told I couldn't have kids a miracle happened and Mimi became pregnant. We found out around her birthday in January 2019, on Valentines Day I proposed, our baby girl is called Valentina. We managed with help from friends and family to have a humble wedding on Valentine's Day at Leeds Town Hall. Mimi came to the UK on a tourist Visa from Guatemala and we didn't expect her (due to medical reasons) to be blessed with our daughter Valentina. Due to a host of larger factors (such as necessary private medical visits as the NHS (UK healthcare) won't cover some things) we are without money but have a large hospital bill to pay for the birth of our daughter as not being British Mimi wasn't eligible for free healthcare and legal costs to apply for the right to remain in the UK. It's also very dangerous in Guatemala, Mimis Uncle was recently murdered and her brother has had a gun to his head due to mistaken identity. Mimis family is Christian like us, her father is a Pastor so her family tries to do their best and we also try to do our best. If the hospital bill isn't paid for along with the fees to apply for remaining our family will not be able to be practically together. People suggested crowdfunding for a time when we were starting out with our own flat whilst pregnant with no furniture, similar for our humble wedding. We managed with help to get by without crowdfunding. Now if possible we are asking for help so that our family can be together. Thank you for your time and understanding. M&M
