Hello friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,

We are Acey and Theo, a couple that met during the beginning of the Covid Pandemic. It has a been a couple years now since I have joined Theo in this gorgeous country.

As many of you know, navigating the immigration process can be both challenging and VERY costly. We are currently in the process of preparing for a Partnership Resident Visa application, which will allow us to continue living and planning out our future together.

To make this dream a reality, we need to raise an estimated $7k NZD. This will cover the full visa application and levy fees, medical exam, and chest X-ray.

The process of compiling all the legal documents is very tedious and costly, not to mention anxiety inducing. Therefore, we will also be hiring an Immigration expert to walk us through the process.

This is where we humbly ask for your support. Every contribution, no matter how small, will bring us one step closer to achieving our goal.

Why This Means So Much to Us:

- **Our Story:**

Theo and I met in a group for artists and musicians. We hit it off very well and started out as good friends. Overtime, our feelings for each other blossomed, and we actually ended up confessing simultaneously.

However, due to the Covid Pandemic and borders being closed, it took a couple years before we could finally close the physical distance between us. During that time we maintained a long distance relationship and communicated daily through various social platforms by texting, and video chatting.

After restrictions were lifted, and I'd obtained my first Visa, we've been happily living together ever since.

Bottom line is, Theo is such a kind and generous person. He's also very funny, reliable, and supportive. I could not ask for anything more in a lover.

I feel it is my destiny to spend the rest of my life here with him in this beautiful country.

It will, however, take more than just following my heart to make that dream a reality...

- **Our Dream:**

Theo and I have thoroughly discussed our plans for our future dozens of tines. Mostly because we're just very excited to see what the universe has in store for the both of us.

We do want to approach this responsibly, and in order to do so, we must obtain a residence visa. Afterwards, we will be relieved to be finally be able to get settled down, consider marriage, purchase our first home, further our educations, and potentially start our own family.

Although, these may be everyday dreams for many, it's a particularly tricky one to achieve when a partner must hold a type of residency visa in order to secure that sort of future.

With a heartfelt thanks,

Acey and Theo
