Help me pay the fee to stay in the country

Donation protected
I've never written anything like this, and asking for financial support feels difficult, but I’ve found myself in a position where this feels like the only hope left. I’m currently facing the possibility of being deported. I first moved to the United Kingdom in 2018 from Brazil, and not only has it become my home, but my life and everything it has turned into belongs here. I have a partner who I live with, friends who are near, and a life here I cannot fathom losing.
The current immigration regulations make it so that my only option to stay is through a spouse visa as my EU settlement from four years ago was refused a few weeks ago (the decision was delayed for more than 2 years). My partner and I are engaged and due to marry in 2 weeks, however the visa requires a payment fee of £3,105, on top of which I must pay £1,258 which we currently do not have. So I am asking for help—anything, be it big or small.
It has been an upsetting and anxiety-inducing time coming to terms with the fact that a certain sum of money stands between me and the ability to simply remain where I am home, that I’ll be forced away if I can’t provide it, that my partner and I have had to discuss these potential realities. And I can’t pretend that a part of me doesn’t feel guilt upon asking for support, that I don’t subconsciously hold some of the mentality of “every man for himself”. But I want to believe that there will be people who will read this that can and will feel it in themselves to help me. I don’t want to lose my home, I don’t want to be forced away simply because I couldn’t pay.

The tiniest amount of generosity is so appreciated, and if you are in a comfortable enough position to give a larger amount, I truly can’t thank you enough.

Love, Jimmy.
