My beautiful family can finally go home. Please help us by donating $1 to get us there.
Canterbury
After nearly 3 years, we can finally say that we can go home. Now I know that I’m from New Zealand, and he’s from England, but to us, Australia is where we met, and where we want to make our home.
When we moved back to New Zealand, it was with the expectation that I could be saying goodbye to my dad forever, so we packed up everything and came back as quickly as we could. Now, my dad is a superhero, so of course he pulled through. That’s not to say that I wasn’t terrified of losing him though. I’ll admit, for a minute there I doubted his strength, not something I’ll do again in a hurry. I’ll never regret my decision to come home to be with him but we still had to start our life all over. We had no jobs, no money, and no where to live, but we did our best, and have made a really good life for ourselves here. We even added a new addition to our family. No, it’s not what you think. Christmas 2016, we welcomed Luthor, the beautiful (yet destructive) Dogue Du Bordeaux, into our family. That giant, drooling, 45kg, ginger lump of a dog is the light of my life, so you couldn’t think for a second that I ever considered him not being a part of our new life.
We had always planned on going back to Australia, but that meant going through another visa application process. For anyone that has ever had to go through this, you’ll know how stressful and frustrating this is. We had no idea how long it would take for his visa to be approved, if at all. But low and behold, 5 months before we expected any information, the emails arrived.
“Congratulations. We are please to inform you that your visa has been approved”
I was shocked. Amazed. Terrified.
We had to start all over again. Again. A whole new life. No money, no jobs, no home. But this time, we have Luthor too.
We can do this I thought, but a little help can go a long way. There’s no harm in asking right?? So here I am. Asking for help. Help to start a new life.
All I ask is a $1 donation, and to share this post. Moving house is difficult. Moving countries.. it takes a family.
Any money donated will go towards flights or setup when we finally arrive. Things like furniture, or bedding, or kitchenware.
