Auckland

Hi There! I’m Paola, I emigrated alone to New Zealand six years ago with a heart full of hope and the dream of building a better, safe, and stable life.

I have worked hard since I arrived, facing many challenges on my own —the loneliness, the language barrier, health issues, grief, and adapting to a new culture. But every step, no matter how difficult, has brought me closer to the dream of putting down roots here. NZ has become my home, a place where I’ve met incredible people, learned new ways of seeing life where I’ve started to grow, and build a better future.

Today, I find myself at a crucial moment: I need to raise funds to apply for the AEWV (Accredited Employer Work Visa) in order to stay legally in the country while I complete the required work experience to apply for the SMC (Skilled Migrant Category) Visa and continue the path that I’ve built with so much effort. These processes, translations, imm. medicals, advisors, and visas are costly, and despite working and saving constantly, I’m unable to cover the full amount on my own.

That’s why, with humility, faith, and an open heart, I’ve created this campaign to ask for help. If you can support me with a donation, no matter how small, you will not only be helping with a migration process but also the deep dream of a woman who is striving, with hope for a better future.

Thank you for reading, for sharing, and for your contribution. I send you all my gratitude, and I know that God will multiply your kindness and generosity.

Use of funds

All funds will contribute to cover the costs of immigration fees, visa application fee, Immigration medicals, and Immigration agent services.
