Hi my name is Michelle, I am fundraising on behalf of Jess and her partner Rain.

We are desperate to raise money for Jess and her daughter to fly to the US, to spend time with her partner, Rain, while he has time.

Rain is a single father of 2 living in the US and has sadly been diagnosed with stage 5 kidney failure, along with stage 3 congestive heart failure. Each day is a struggle, and he is not coping very well. He is currently in hospital and starting dialysis.

Jess and Rain fell in love nearly 4 years ago over the internet. Before Rain got very sick, he came to visit and spent time here with Jess and her daughter Indy. Last July, Rain was very ill and Jess used all her savings to jump on a plane and be there to help his mother and him in the uncertainty of his illnesses.

Jess herself has multiple illness including POTS and Ehlers Danlos syndrome, which has made finding suitable work extremely challenging and thus has not got the funds to see Rain despite trying her best all year to save.

Jess and Rain are some of the kindest most down to earth people who would do anything they could for anyone in need. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I pray there are people reading this far who can donate, all donations are so appreciated by the couple.

How the money would be used:

Return flights are approximately $3,500.
