She is a British mother and entrepreneur who moved to Dubai full of ambition, built businesses, created opportunities, and contributed meaningfully to the community around her. Today she is trapped, fighting a legal and financial battle that has spiralled beyond her control, and desperately trying to get home to her son in the UK. Over the past several months she has been caught in a legal crisis tied to rental disputes in the UAE. She spent a month in detention before a judge ordered her release and agreed a repayment plan. Without warning that same judge reversed course, cutting her timeline from 15 months to 15 days and ordering her back into detention. Since November 2025 the economic collapse of her client base and the expiry of her UAE business licence have left her with no viable way to meet these demands locally. She has exhausted every avenue available to her.

The moment she is home she can work, rebuild, and repay every kindness shown to her. If you have ever felt trapped and just needed one door to open, you will understand where she is right now. Thank you for reading and for anything you are able to give.
