heya , i'm katie . my partner lu's skilled work visa application was denied late last year and we have been frantically trying to find options for them to stay in Australia after their current visa expires in April . we are getting married in March and have decided to apply for a partner visa . as some of you may know , this visa application is very expensive and challenging to apply for . we desperately and quickly need to raise funds to cover these expenses (approx):

we aren't asking to raise funds to cover all of these costs from this gofundme but at the very least covering the partner visa application would be immensely helpful . neither of us make enough money to be able to cover these costs by ourselves . we are both struggling artists with mental health issues and this situation has added extreme stress to our already stressful daily lives , and significantly impacted our ability to work

i love lu very much & selfishly i'd like them not to be deported to china . lu would also like to stay . please help if you can
