Help Nadine call Canada home

Hi, I'm Nadine

To be able to call Canada home is my dream.

I came to Canada as a lost soul trying to find myself and find liberty, and I did just that.

Being here, I fell deeply in love, not with a person but with Canada itself. Within the first 30 days, I knew this was where I wanted to call home. I have never felt like I belonged anywhere; I'm originally from the UK and always felt like I was just existing. I grew up in an abusive household, second-guessing my every move, leading to a life filled with insecurities. Those insecurities gradually became resentful, and I became a master of refusing to take 100% responsibility for my life. I travelled to Australia for 2 years when I was 19 years old, I thought I was doing it for the love of travel, which I was, but that was not the whole truth; I was running away. Running from abuse and fear, searching for freedom physically, mentally and emotionally. I had to go back to the UK after my visa ended. Even though I didn't love Australia, I knew I couldn't stand being in the UK with all that bad energy and traumatic memories.

It was exhausting.

I straight away got my act into gear and planned to run away to Canada next. I did not expect to fall in love with Vancouver and then the whole of Canada as a country when I travelled from west to east and then eventually north.

The moment I knew Canada is where my soul belongs was after a flight from Halifax back to Vancouver. I had just completed a train trip across the country and kept falling in love. I have met the most beautiful people who contribute to me feeling free from pain and suffering.

I need Canada in my life. Being here already has me thriving and more confident. Canada has allowed me to be surrounded by so much love and acceptance, I didn't get the opportunity to feel and find myself until coming here.

While in Vancouver, I have had the fantastic opportunity to nanny for some amazing families here, I would love to continue my life here so I can be a part of their lives and watch the little people I've come closest to grow up.

I've had the absolute honour of calling Canada my temporary home for nearly 4 years, and I"m putting it to the universe to please help me make this permanent. I'm reaching out for help to afford the cost of my Immigration. The idea of me having to return to the UK has me in turmoil. I'd rather not see another day than go back and be reminded of what happened to me there as a child. Canada has me in a state of serenity and freedom from within that I struggle to put into words.

I ask from the bottom of my heart to please help Canada become my forever home so I can truly live a life of freedom without fear.

Thank you

Much love, Nadine
