Diamond and I have been in a long distance relationship (USA - NZ) since August 2015 and we need your help so we can finally be together!
Waikato
Diamond and I have been Facebook friends since the 20th of April 2015. We met by playing Mario Kart 8 and skyping with people we knew. On the 2nd of July 2015, Diamond messaged me for the first time and we haven't gone a day without talking ever since. We instantly clicked and we found we had so much in common. We started skyping and playing games together by ourselves and it was like we had been best friends for years. Then on the 26th of August 2015, Diamond asked me to be her girlfriend and of course I said yes. Being 7,515 miles apart from each other was kind of scary but I don't regret starting this amazing journey because I have met the love of my life and we are perfect for each other <3 we have been through so much together but have always stayed by each others side through the good and the bad. We make each other so happy and love each other more each day.
We have skyped for about 2,817 hours and have sent over 100,000 messages to each other. We can spend 12 hours together on skype and never get bored. We don't get to spend as much time on skype as we used to because Diamond is always working her butt off at 2 jobs to earn money to move over here.
Long distance relationships suck. We have to rely on internet/phones/computers to spend time with each other. We have to wait all day/night for each other because of the different time zones. We can't comfort each other the way we want to. We can't do simple things like hug, kiss or hold hands. We can't go out and do things together. We have to sleep alone. We miss each other so much when we can't message/skype. We deal with it all because we know the wait is worth it.. but we've been ready for so long to finally be in each others arms.
The plan from day 1 was for Diamond to move here because I can't just move overseas because of my son's dad/family. Plus I have a house and everything we need so it makes more sense for her to move here. I feel bad that she is moving so far away from her family but I love her so much and I will always love and care for her just like I do now. My 8 year old son loves Diamond too and always talks about her and wants to show her things. He even listens to her more than he listens to me :P she loves him like he's her son and I can't wait for us to all be together and do things as a family <3 I want Diamond to live a good, happy, healthy life and help her achieve her dreams which I know she can do in New Zealand. It's not like we can't go and visit everyone! we'll have a spare room if anyone wants to visit us in this beautiful country ;D
Diamond will be coming to NZ on a Working Holiday Visa, which means she can live in NZ for 12 months and work temporary jobs up to 3 months at a time. After the 12 months is up, she can apply for the Partner of a New Zealand Resident visa, which means she can work and live here indefinitely. We have to be living together for 12 months before she can get the partner visa.
The Working Holiday Visa is only available to people under 30 years old, and Diamond is 29 so we're running out of time and this is pretty much our only option to be together. We would be so heartbroken if we miss this opportunity to be together. We need $7,000 to cover all the costs for her to move to NZ. We have saved $4,000+ ourselves but we're worried we won't be able to save the rest of the money in time. People have suggested we start a donation page so they can help out, so that's what we're doing!
We will appreciate every single dollar donated! If you can't donate, please share this page so others can help!
If you have any questions you can message me or Diamond :)
I'm also willing to offer my Photoshop services to anyone who donates. I've been using Photoshop for over 12 years and can do pretty much anything like edit photos, make invitations, facebook cover photos etc! just message me :)
We need approximately $7000 all up to cover the requirements for the Working Holiday Visa and we have to show immigration proof.
- $1,000 for a ticket to NZ.
- $4,200 to live on for a year.
- $1,000 for a return ticket (will actually be used to put towards the partner visa which costs $1,250).
- $800 for full medical insurance for a year.
Diamond's NZ Visa has been approved! 14 July 2017
Yesterday Diamond's working holiday visa got approved! and we currently have about $5200 saved. Now all we need to do is save the last $1800 to buy her plane ticket and travel/health insurance :D
