Baby Lorenzo ✈️✈️

My name is Joshua Miceli and Im looking for help to support my newborn son, Lorenzo, while he is living away from me overseas in the Philippines.

A brief explanation of our situation. Lorenzo was born 26th July in the phillipines. I took 3 months leave from 1st july to be there for the birth. He is currently renting with his mother Rhea, and rheas younger brother, rymond, who is still at highschool. I’m the sole provider for their household.

Anyone that knows me, knows that im normally very reluctant to ask for help, and if it were for myself I would never do such a thing as GoFundMe. But I feel as a first time father that it is my duty to do whatever I have to do, to provide for my son and give him the best start to life.

The GoFundMe goal I have set is to support for approximately 5 months of lorenzos/rheas expenses while I patiently wait for approval for rheas visa and lorenzos paperwork for Australian citizenship by descent.

The end goal is to bring both Rhea and Lorenzo, permanently, over to Australia and continue our family in 1 house.

Any funds raised will be solely used for the following expenses of Lorenzo and rhea.

-their rent and utilities

-weekly expenses such as diapers,wipes, baby formula

-general baby needs such as shampoo,lotion, powder

-new wardrobe(as he is the size of a 4 month at 2 months)

-educational toys and books as he is beginning to develop

-stroller(now he is old enough and immunized Rhea wants to take him for walks but can’t carry him for more than 10 minutes)

-any doctor checkups and medical expenses

Any help is greatly appreciated . Trying to raise a child so far from home is proving to be somewhat more challenging(financially and emotionally) than I anticipated.
