Tom and Bethany's Partner Visa Fund
Donation protected
What started out as penpals across the sea, has blossomed into a lifelong love. Tom and I are inseparable since our meeting, but have come across the hardship of paying for a partner visa in order for us to be together in the same country.
For those who know us, you know we are kind hearted and hard working people. We do not request help lightly, but ask humbly for help so that we may be together in the same place. Tom came into my life just after my tumor surgery, and has since been at my side with adoration, and never faltering support. We have lived out of our faithful mini van travelling across the States, all the while working in order to save money and see as many sights as we could while both being in the same country. We have lived a wonderful year while Tom has been here, but at the end of April he will have to leave the continent, and return to his homeland of New Zealand.
My plan is to follow him to New Zealand, where we hope to establish a life together. However, due to financial setbacks, we cannot afford the high cost of a partner visa and the cost of travel it will take to be in the same place.
The partner visa costs $1400, while the plane ticket costs about $1400. The sooner we obtain the funds, the sooner we can go through the grueling process of paperwork just so we can live our life together. So, we humbly ask for help, with the intention to pay it forward in the future. We are in our early twenties, simply trying to make it in this world. Even if we lose everything we have, our love still stands. We ask for $3000, which will cover the cost of travel and the visa, plus any unexpected paperwork fees.
You investing in our love story will mean more to us than you may ever know. We never take a day for granted, because we know how precious and short this life is. We love one another beyond words, and work hard to be in the same corner of the world. We just need a little help in getting started.
