Help Caitlyn stay in Australia

Donation protected
Hi, I’m Caitlyn and my life is a nightmarish joke of a dark comedy. In 2022 I was recruited by a company (we’ll call them Vet A) to come to Australia with the promise of a 5 year contract and permanent residency. Two years later, they’ve decided not to fund anyone’s visa due to “budget constraints” and left me stranded. I managed to find another job to sponsor me so I could stay in Australia (Vet B), but two days before they were supposed to file my sponsorship paperwork they pulled out and ghosted me. I found ANOTHER sponsor (Vet C), who promised me a visa, used me for temporary help while they were short staffed during the holidays, and waiting until after my visa expired to tell me they won’t provide me with a visa because they don’t want to pay me the base salary required by the visa. Now I am stranded, without a visa, without a job, and without any money or support network. I am fortunate enough to be a union member and they have assisted me with free legal help, but I’m requesting funds to help with fees for a new visa and living expenses while I sort all of this out.

While all of this was going on, the following things happened: my marriage fell apart, my pet bird died, my pet dog died, my other dog got diagnosed with cancer, my last grandparent died, I dislocated my jaw, and found out I need hand surgery. So much more happened but honestly I can’t even remember it all now.

Please help me.
