Hi everyone,

I never thought I’d be in a position where I’d need to ask for help, I feel embarrassed but I’m currently going through a very difficult time.

A few years ago, I moved to Northern Ireland to build a stable and safe life for my daughter. After everything I’ve been through growing up, creating a sense of normality and security for her has always been my top priority. Many of you who follow my journey already know parts of my story through my book and blog.

I came here with hope, but unfortunately things haven’t worked out as planned, and the situation has left me feeling very isolated, without a support network around me which I mentally need due to my mental health.

Right now, I’m waiting for a housing transfer so I can relocate, but the process really takes time.

In the meantime, I’m struggling to afford the travel needed to get back home even for a few days — just so I can be around family, friends, and the support I really need during this time.

I’m asking for help to cover travel costs so I can:

• Spend time back home for emotional support

• Be ready to relocate when my housing transfer comes through

This isn’t easy to ask, but any support — no matter how small — would genuinely mean a lot and help me through this difficult chapter.

Thank you for reading and for any support you can give.
