Help Recover Stolen Funds for Visa Application

UPDATE: THANK YOU!! About half of the money has been raised !!! I’ve lowered the goal amount to reflect the donations privately received! THANK YOU!

In an unfortunate turn of events, $1000 was recently stolen from me and I’ve been freaking out ever since. The details of the theft are a bit disturbing so I won’t get into it, but I am recovering and feeling better. I felt very angry at the time, and now just extremely disappointed.

That money was to be used to pay off my remaining taxes in Japan (total: 300,000JPY, or about $2,000 USD) so that I can apply for my visa, but because of this I can’t apply until it is paid off. This is where I need your help. I just need the money that was stolen plus a bit more to close the gap and move on from this really shitty incident.

I’ve had a streak of very good luck so I guess this was just the universe balancing all the good things they have been going on in my life. I just got back from touring in China, as well as a trip that my Japanese family took me on, which was so lovely.

I also have auditioned for an incredibly lucrative job starting this fall and I also have a couple of contracts with a cruise ship liner so I will be full of work from this fall!! This is just the last stretch. Anything helps, thank you guys for your help. I feel terrible to be back on this platform asking for help but I really don’t have another choice. I’ll also be working as much as possible online teaching English (which only pays $10 per hour) to make as much of the money back as fast as possible.

I appreciate your help, thank you for your support through a weird time. I would like to continue to explore my career which I feel is finally starting to flourish here in Japan but I will be honest about the help that I need. Thank you for your time.
