Hi everyone, I never thought I’d be in this position, but I have no choice but to reach out. I’m a South African living in Arizona, and after nearly 12 years in the U.S., my world is falling apart. My husband—the person I once trusted—has decided I’m no longer “his person” and wants to separate. But it’s more than just a broken marriage. He has refused to help me secure my citizenship, systematically torn me down, and is now alienating my daughter from me. I have already suffered two strokes, and without legal help, I won’t be able to stand up for myself, protect my health, or fight for my relationship with my child. I need to raise enough money for a down payment on an immigration and family law attorney—someone who can help me secure my future and protect my rights as a mother. Every single dollar will go directly to my lawyer to fight for my path to citizenship and, most importantly, keep my bond with my daughter intact. If you can’t contribute financially, please consider sharing this with others. Your support, in any form, means the world to me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
