Help to return to Ireland
Donation protected
Hi, I am Talita, I'm 34 years old.
I've been living in Dublin for 2 years and on the 23rd of April after my trip to Brazil I was turned Denied access to the country. This trip had been the first time I came home after leaving Sao Paolo and I did it because I wanted to visit my family and to spend time with my grandmother who got diagnosed with cancer. During my trip my other elderly aunt also suddenly passed away. I have been through so much in such a short period of time so you can only imagine how I felt when on 23rd of April I came back to Ireland and got turned away at the immigration.
I am in Ireland on a Student visa studying English. Turns out the agency that sold me my English course scammed me. I was not registered in the school as one of their students. The courses I was taking were fake. However, the immigration officers would not believe that I have indeed been a victim of a crime.
They treated me like an animal. I suffer from panic attacks and anxiety and since I realised I won't be able to come back to my life in Ireland I got really upset. I have a girlfriend, friends and people that love me here and I wasn't even allowed to call them to let them know I am okay. They kept me there from 11 a.m. to around 4 p.m. before I was allowed to call anyone. I collapsed in the interrogation room from being so anxious and they laughed at me saying that there is another woman who has a heart attack at the airport and that my panic attack isn't important in this situation. They very reluctantly called an ambulance for me. I have never been treated like this in my life. This was a very traumatic experience.
It took me a whole year to save up to start my life in Ireland and I have so much of it there. I work as a dog walker, it's something that is a passion of mine since I absolutely adore animals. It took me a long time to build my client base and they all adore me since I care for these pets like they're my own.
I need help to return to the life I have built.
It's very expensive to get a new student course, tickets and proof of funds to start a life here and I feel like by getting scammed I lost it all. My family is not well off, I can't ask them for money...
If there is anything at all you could donate to help me I would forever be grateful ♥️
Every little helps
