Bring Rachel, Anwyn, & Heiko Together: Help Us Start Our Family

Hello, my name is Rachel, and I’m a 42-year-old mom to my incredible 9-year-old daughter, Anwyn. After years of facing life’s challenges, we’ve found hope, love, and a future worth fighting for—thanks to my fiancé, Heiko.

Heiko and I met in the most unexpected way, but what started as a friendship blossomed into something extraordinary. Together, we’ve overcome personal struggles, healed from past trauma, and created a bond built on unconditional love and trust. Now, we dream of building a life together and creating a stable, loving home for Anwyn.

But there’s one big hurdle standing in our way: the cost of travel and paperwork needed to bring our family together. As a full-time student and single mom living with a disability, I’ve stretched our resources as far as they can go. We simply cannot make this happen without your help.

What We’re Raising Funds For:

Round-trip flights for Anwyn and me to Germany: $1,800
Marriage-related expenses (filing fees, document translations, and travel within Germany): $700
Additional travel expenses and unforeseen costs: $500
Our total goal: $3,000

With your support, we can finally be together and give Anwyn the family life she deserves. Your generosity will help cover the cost of bringing us to Germany so we can marry, meet the government’s requirements, and start this exciting new chapter as a family.

Why This Means So Much:
For Anwyn, this isn’t just a trip; it’s the beginning of a stable, loving life with two parents who adore her. For Heiko and me, it’s the culmination of a love story we never thought possible—a chance to heal, grow, and build a future together.

How You Can Help:

Donate—Every dollar brings us closer to our goal.
Share—Your support in spreading our story can make a world of difference.
Encourage—Your words of kindness mean so much to us during this journey.
We promise to keep you updated every step of the way with financial transparency and milestones as we get closer to our goal.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in us and for helping make our dream a reality.

With endless gratitude,
Rachel, Anwyn, & Heiko
