Help Twinks Start Over After 20 Years in the U.S.

Donation protected
After 20 years of living and working in the U.S., my dear friend Twinks is being forced to leave the country she’s called home for more than half her life. She came here from Scotland with big dreams, a generous heart, and an incredible work ethic—but due to visa complications, she can no longer stay.

Twinks lost her job when her visa could not be renewed, and she now faces the painful and sudden reality of starting over in the UK with very little. She’s packing up her life while in survival mode—emotionally exhausted, grieving the loss of her home and community, and physically struggling as she recovers from a much-needed knee replacement. She’s currently on crutches and managing chronic health challenges on her own.

This move isn’t a choice—it’s an emergency. And she’s scared.

Twinks has always been the kind of person who shows up for others. Now, she needs us.

She’s raising funds to help her with:
• Travel and relocation costs
• Short-term housing when she arrives in the UK
• Basic living expenses as she gets back on her feet
• Medical costs while she waits for public healthcare coverage

Every dollar helps. Whether you can give $10 or $100, your support will ease her fear and give her a fighting chance at a new beginning. If you’re not able to give, please consider sharing this with your network.

Let’s remind Twinks that she’s not alone—and that even across oceans, community and compassion can carry her home.

Thank you so much.
