Please help reunite me with my son Ruchan by supporting his visa to come home to New Zealand after five years apart

Milldale, Auckland

I am raising funds to support my son, Ruchan, with his visa application so he can come home to New Zealand from South Africa. Due to unforeseen circumstances and distance, we have not seen each other for five long years. He was just 16 when we last embraced, he is now 21, and the separation has been incredibly difficult for our family.

All we wish for is to be reunited and begin making up for the precious time we have lost. Bringing him home will allow us to rebuild our bond, create new memories, and provide him with better opportunities and a stable future.

The funds raised will go directly toward visa application fees, documentation, and associated costs required to make this reunion possible.

Any contribution, big or small, will bring us one step closer to being together again. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page would mean the world to us.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support in helping bring my son home.

2% Effective Fee
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.
