Hey ya everyone.

I hate to say this.. But this is my last resort.. So heres me.. Asking for help.. (i hate asking for help :( )

My names Jennifer.

I am 20 years old a solo mummy to 2 little guys ages 3 years and 9 months.

I was born in Sydney Australia. But my mum raised me and my older sister here in New zealand.

Mum came back to New zealand when i was 11 months old and here we have lived/stayed for many many years! so therefore i class myself a kiwi :D

GO THE A.Bs

My dad was never in my life for certain reasons...

Time went by and just after my 18th birthday mum told me my dad (Nathan) From Wonthaggi Victoria Australia, added her on facebook... We got talking and trying to get to know one another gathering a bond.

but 2 years later we sadly still have not met for the simple reason being.... We both are broke and cannot afford to cover the costs..

Tickets.. $600

Passports.. $340

Accomadation.. $1500

Food.. $300

I have been trying my best to save.. But being a solo mum these costs are stressful..

I need to meet my dad.. Id love to meet him..

I would LOVE to go back to australia to meet my dad and his new family.

And id love him to meet his only grandkids.

Even going to see where i was born and used to live etc thatd be neat!

But.. Theres the costs that is stopping us from saying that first hi face to face.. That first hug..

but thats life, right?

Please someone... HELP me ..

... Every little bit counts...

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

Please please donate towards my dream?

:)

Jen.
