Please help this couple come home.

Auckland

My daughter, Kathryn and her husband, Shubham, have been living abroad for several years, after a hiccup with Shubham’s visa status saw them need to leave and they’ve been fighting for his right to return to New Zealand ever since.

This fight has come with many challenges both emotionally and financially including immigration fees, medical assessments and lawyer fees on top of regular living expenses.

The couple have been able to fund this themselves up until their most recent barrier. They require approximately $7500 in legal and associated fees in order to continue their arduous battle which will hopefully give them the right to return and live together in New Zealand.

As a father, I worry for my daughter living overseas long term as she has chronic mental health issues that have only exacerbated due to the stress and social isolation this situation has put her in.

Please help get these two home. Any little bit counts.

Use of funds

The funds raised will go towards the couples legal fees. Any unused funds will contribute to ongoing costs associated with living abroad until they can come home.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
