A heartfelt campaign to reunite two souls—one in NZ, one in Michigan—separated by oceans but bound by love and faith.

Auckland

This isn’t just a love story—it’s a lifeline.

Stretched thin between New Zealand and Michigan.

Me on one end. Jessie on the other.

Two souls, shaped by pain, softened by grace.

We didn’t meet in a fairytale—we met in the wreckage.

When love had become a language we’d forgotten how to speak.

And yet, somehow, we understood each other.

The way only two people who’ve been through fire can.

She’s the calm in my storm.

The voice that steadies my shaking hands.

But oceans separate us.

And right now, I can’t get to her.Nor her to me. Not with work, bills, and just enough to get by.

So I’m reaching out—not for charity, but for connection.

For a chance to close the distance, to take this from screen to soul.

This isn’t just about a plane ticket.

It’s about finally standing in the same light.

If you’ve ever found home in someone’s heart,

you’ll understand how deeply this matters.

Every share, every dollar, every act of kindness

is a step closer to something real.

Two people. One chance. A love worth believing in.

Help us turn waiting into a welcome.

Help love make it home.

Use of funds

The money will help us cross oceans and time zones—just for a moment in the same place, to hold each other and feel what distance has denied.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
