Please help me meet my biological family in Australia, after searching for answers for 32 years.

Hastings, Hawke's Bay

I’m a 50 year old adoptee hoping desperately to travel to Australia to meet my biological father and family, who I’ve very recently discovered after many years of searching. My birth mother lives in New Zealand but has refused all contact, but my father’s family have welcomed me with open arms. I would give anything to meet them, and time is of the essence. Any donations would help me put the final piece of my puzzle together.

Use of funds

Flights to Sydney Australia, then travel inland and accommodation.
