Keep Simba and Nala with Their Family

Hi everyone,

Life has taken an unexpected turn, and it's now leading me to move out of the country. Europe is where I need to go next, and while this new chapter brings both excitement and uncertainty, there's one part that’s really weighing heavily on me—my dogs, Simba and Nala.

These two aren't just pets. They're family. They’ve been my comfort, my joy, and my emotional support through every high and low. The thought of leaving them behind is unbearable, but the cost of transporting them internationally is heartbreakingly high. It’s a cost that, right now, I simply cannot cover on my own.

I’m currently working part-time, and not by choice. Due to the type of visa I hold as an international student in the U.S., I’m legally restricted from working full-time. This has made it incredibly difficult to earn enough—not just for everyday life, but especially for unexpected or major expenses like this one.

Being an international student in America comes with a lot of invisible struggles. It’s hard to find work, even harder to keep it, and almost impossible to get enough hours or pay to make ends meet—let alone save up for something like pet relocation overseas.

I’m doing everything I can, but I need help. Simba and Nala are everything to me, and I just want to keep my little family together as I take this next step. Any kind of support or guidance would mean the world.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
