Ori's Urgent U.K Visa Fund
My name is Ori. I am a black trans woman living in Canada, in dire straits without a safety net, and I have taken it upon myself to escape a string of increasingly unstable living situations by moving in with my partner in the U.K.
Over the course of the past 3 ½ years and multiple different homes, I have been subjected to sexual manipulation, rent theft, and most recently I have been threatened with assault. Even beforehand, I was trapped living with family in an emotionally and physically abusive household. Additionally, I have been very recently laid off as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic severely reducing traffic in my former workplace, and my lease is set to expire within the month (August 2020).
In light of this situation, me and my loving partner have elected to find a way to bring me over to the U.K, in pursuit of a stable housing situation and an opportunity for security. What I ask is this: I would require the funds listed below, alongside a security blanket, to pay for the initial and near future processing fees for a U.K Family Visa. Every cent helps, and distributing this fundraiser among personal networks would be of great service. Thank you for your time.
