I came to the UK from Brazil with my family because my parents wanted a better life for us. Over time, this country became our home. My parents later started a Bible school ministry here, and we were blessed to see over 3,000 students graduate. The UK has shaped my faith, my friendships, and my future.

The biggest challenge has been our legal right to stay. Over the last few years, my family and I have had to go to court around five times just to fight for the chance to remain here. Each process came with stress and high costs, and most of my current debt comes from visa and legal fees from the previous application.

Staying in the UK means continuing to serve my local church and community, supporting my family, caring for our home in Surrey, helping my brother, and looking after my dog, Yoshi. These responsibilities matter deeply to me.

All donations will go directly toward paying for my visa. Any additional support will help reduce debt caused by past immigration expenses and passing it on to my brother who will have his renewal two months later. Without raising these funds, there is a real chance I may have to return to Brazil.

More than anything, I ask for your prayers. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any support you’re able to give.
