hey there, i’m returning to switzerland on the 29th of july after spending 3 amazing months with my girlfriend in north carolina. but this isn’t just a vacation ending — it’s a complicated situation.
me and her met back in november when i was looking for a good isle community/server. we quickly became friends and stayed close until around 6 months later, when i wanted to ask her out — turned out we both had crushes on each other :D We were in a long distance (US - Switzerland) relationship for over a year and really made it work.
but then 3 months ago, i got a notice that i had to vacade my apartment before april 29th. (it was in talks for a long time.) i’m autistic and depressed, and the support system i was in didn’t actually want to work with autistic people. i tried to find a new place to stay, but most other support systems that supported autistic + depressed people were either full or just didn’t want to work with people like me.
so my girlfriend took her saved-up pennies together and bought me a flight to the US so i could stay with her. i didn’t have enough time to get a visa (wait time was like 1 month+), so i had to use a ESTA instead.
now those 3 months are up and i’m flying back to switzerland on july 29th. but i don’t have a place to stay there except at a friend’s for a bit, and i want to return to my gf as soon as i can. i’m already working on getting a visa (and if that fails i’ll try the esta again), but i mostly need help covering the cost for the flight back to the US.
so yeah, if you wanna help keep two people who really love each other together — and support someone just trying to find a stable place to exist — any donation would mean the world to me and to us.
💙 thank you for reading and caring!
After donating, feel free to visit our thank you page 💙
What kind of visa are you applying for?
i plan on getting a work visa so i can start working and helping her out financially
Is there a deadline to return to NC?
not exactly, my best friend said i could stay at this place for at least 3 months, so that’s plenty of time (assuming i get accepted) for either a visa or a esta again
What will donations be used for?
purely for flight ticket, visa and if we reach our goal (of about $1200, assuming it’s around that since the flights are very pricey) for food (will be publicly shown how much the ticket etc cost and how we used the money)
What happens if you can’t get back?
i will have to request financial support again and find a new shared apartment, or temporarily have to go into a homeless shelter or mental hospital with limited/no internet access.
Will you track donations publicly?
yes, we’ll put all donations into this google spreadsheet (no names unless u want to be mentioned)
