Bring Me Home to Melbourne: 13 Years of Hard Work

Donation protected
For 13 long years, I’ve been fighting to make Australia—specifically Melbourne—my permanent home. Melbourne isn’t just where I’ve lived; it’s where I’ve found a sense of belonging, built lifelong connections, and discovered my true passion for music. The incredible support from the Melbourne community gave me the courage to pursue a musical career, and their belief in me carried me through the toughest times. This city has become my second home, and leaving it behind was the hardest thing ever.

However, this amazing city has given me more than just a musical platform. For several years, I worked as a Support Worker, helping people in need and giving back to the community that shaped me. That role allowed me to offer the same kindness and care that I had received. Now, I have a rare opportunity to return and make Melbourne my permanent home through a sponsorship—but time is running out, and I have to act fast.

Relocating isn’t just an emotional decision; it comes with significant financial hurdles, this is why I am humbly seeking your support to cover the essential costs of moving back to Australia, securing a roof over my head, and getting my life started again in Melbourne. The sponsorship opportunity won’t wait forever, and without your help, I could lose my one shot at building a permanent life in the city I love.

Every donation will go towards:

Relocation Expenses
Flights and necessary arrangements to move back to Australia.
Housing
Securing a stable place to live while I get re-established in Melbourne.
Legal Fees
Costs associated with the legal process, ensuring all the documents needed are correct at the moment of launching the application.
Settling in
Basic needs and living costs while I re-enter the job market and rejoin the community.

This fundraiser isn’t just about helping me move—it’s about giving me a chance to continue contributing to a city that has already given me so much. It’s about returning to the place where I belong and where I can build a stable future in a community that’s supported me every step of the way. Melbourne is where I can truly thrive, both personally and professionally, and with your help, I’ll finally have the opportunity to do that.

Even the smallest donation will make an enormous difference: Every dollar gets me closer to reclaiming my dream and the life I’ve worked so hard for. Your support will help me cross the finish line of a journey spanned over a decade. I am deeply grateful for your kindness and belief in me.

Please join me in this final push to make my dream life in Melbourne a reality. Thank you for being part of this life-changing journey!
