Help Ripley become an Australian!

Hi all, Ripley here. As most of you know I am a United States Citizen and have been living here in Australia for the past three and a half years. These years have been some of the best times of my life and I have made so many incredible friendships and connections least of which is my beautiful partner Matthew. Matt and I have settled in Tasmania and have some very exciting plans for a future here in Australia. We have been saving up for a partner visa for the last year, yet as the deadline approaches and my COVID visa runs out we're finding ourselves a bit short of the daunting 9,000$ price of the application.

It happens to be my birthday very soon and I would love nothing more for my birthday than to start my application. Australia has become such a special home to me and I'm so grateful for the community I have.

So this is a call out to my community here in Aus and friends and family back in the States or all the places in the world I've been and all the amazing people I've met.

If you have $ to help contribute to our journey into grounding here in Australia it would mean to world to me. Any amount helps and is incredibly appreciated.

Lots of love xo
