Hi, my name is Shingi and I have created this Go Fund Me to help Ade pay for their final visa application to get indefinite leave to remain.

Ade is a queer Nigerian who has been living in the UK since 2021. They moved London to finalise their Masters in Global Business as well as developing a creative career.

Although they have been able to pay for their visa since, thanks to work and savings, work has been fluctuating but they have a somewhat steady income to be able to afford rent and bills, yet they need extra help with securing their last visa application of 2.5 years. This is the final application till they get indefinite leave to remain.

Moving to the UK has helped them a lot when it comes to existing freely as a queer person. They have expressed feeling an immense freedom being themselves in this country.

Aside from their full time job, they are also a freelance creative, and London has helped them a lot in terms of developing their creative skills and purpose. Staying here would mean a chance to truly focus and express their creativity in the hopes of developing their passion further.

The fund will be used to the application fee costing £1,321 and £2,587 for the immigration health surcharge.

If you are able to support, either by sharing or donating, it would mean so much!

Thank you for taking time to read their story.
