Hi I'm a single mum with a beautiful daughter who's three. We've been through a difficult period and I've finally had the courage to walk away from an abusive relationship to which I was subject to domestic violence from my ex-fiance. I've had to apply for a new visa and the Home Office have told me that I can't work in the meanwhile, and I had to resign as a result. I've been forced to be out of work for 5 months now and was relying on the little savings that I had. The Home Office have changed the goal posts and are now saying instead of 3-6 months, it might take up to 8 months for an outcome. I've come so far now and I'm worried/stressed because my savings will only last my daughter and I another 4 to 6 weeks. I've been in touch with Women's Aid and the next option is to move out into a shelter. I'm not eligible for any benefits or the likes being from New Zealand. All I want to do is go back to work and earn an honest, decent living like anyone else and show my daughter that her mummy is a good person and that she can be proud of me. I'd be so grateful if you can help support us through this difficult period. The money would be used to cover rent, bills and food during this interim period. Thank you so much in advance x
