Help us escape deportation and start over

Dear friends,

Since 2019, we have emigrated 3 times, each time searching for a better life for our children. They have faced unhappiness, instability, and relentless bullying in schools along the way. When we arrived in New Zealand, everything changed—for the first time, our kids felt safe, happy, at home.

They love school, look forward it every day, have made so many friends. My wife’s employer was extremely happy with her work, and we truly believed we had found a place to call home. But now, that dream has been shattered.

After made redundant, Immigration NZ granted me a 6-month exploitation visa, with the hope of renewal. But when we applied, we were told that renewal was no longer possible. Now, my visa has expired, and with it, so have my wife’s and children’s visas.

We are not allowed to work—even applying for a visitor visa wouldn’t change that. Our original visas were valid until September 2026, but that has been ripped away from us. We have no choice but to leave.

If we don’t leave voluntarily, Immigration could issue a deportation notice, and the police could detain us, keeping us in a cell for days—possibly a week—until a flight is available. I cannot allow my children to go through such trauma.

We are humbly asking for any support you can give to help us afford the flights, temporary housing, and essentials we need to start over. Even the smallest donation means the world to us.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness and generosity.
