<div>IMMIGRATION IS TEARING OUR FAMILY APART
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi, my name is Gaynor Matthee,my husband is Jurie Matthee .We live in Bootle , Liverpool. I’m asking for help at the most difficult time of my life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have been with my husband for 26 years. He is not just my partner — he is my support, my stability, and my strength.
</div>
<div>We met and married in our faith whilst in South Africa.
</div>
<div>Now, we are being forced apart.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After returning to Liverpool alone, I faced a devastating health scare where I was told I may have cancer. I went through tests and fear without him by my side. I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and ongoing mental health struggles — all medically documented.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My husband was granted a visa to come and support me during this traumatic time. For four months, he cared for me when I needed him most. Before his visa expired, we did everything properly and applied for a family visa from within the UK, including receiving a fee waiver due to our situation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then we waited…
</div>
<div>18 months with no answer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Only after contacting my local MP did we finally receive a response — a refusal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We were told that despite my serious health conditions, despite our 26-year relationship, and despite our genuine marriage in the eyes of our faith, we do not have the right to stay together in the UK.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I was told I should leave my home, my family, and my medical support system — and move to South Africa if I want to be with him .
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But South Africa is not safe for me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have lived through trauma there. I have seen violence that will stay with me forever. I have lost colleagues in horrific circumstances. The fear and impact on my mental health is something I carry every day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here in Liverpool, I have my family — a strong support network who are ready to help us rebuild our lives safely.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All we want is to live together, safely, as husband and wife.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, our only option is to challenge this decision through a judicial review — but the legal costs are far beyond what I can afford.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That is why I am asking for your help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am trying to raise £3,000 to begin urgent legal action
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter how small, truly matters
</div>
<div>If you cannot donate, please share our story
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is not just about a visa.
</div>
<div>This is about love, health, safety, and the right to be together after 26 years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please help us fight to stay together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read this — it means more than we can express.
</div>
