Help Keep A Young Family Together

Help keep a young father in NZ with his NZ-citizen wife and infant boy by supporting legal costs to gain residency.

Wellington

I came to Aotearoa New Zealand from the United States with my wife, who is a NZ citizen, while she was pregnant with our first child. From the beginning, our plan was clear: to settle down in NZ and raise our family here, surrounded by her family, the natural beauty of this country, and the values we both believe in.

Since then, our baby boy has arrived, and that dream has only grown stronger. NZ already feels like home, not just for us, but for the future we want to build together. We've put down roots, I've embraced the culture, and found real community here.

But despite everything, staying here isn’t simple. Applying for residency is a complex and expensive process, and as much as we wish we could cover it ourselves, the legal and immigration costs are more than we can manage alone right now.

That’s why we’ve created this page, to ask for your help.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to securing my residency visa and ensuring I can legally and securely remain by my wife and child’s side. If you’re not in a position to give, a simple share would mean the world to us.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for reading and supporting our journey.

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.
