Family Reunification & Legal Travel Fund
The main reason: to see my mother in Bosnia—I haven’t seen her in ten years, and now it’s urgent.
To make that possible, I need support for travel, passport renewal and paperwork, and for my family while I’m away. This campaign is for that.
Updates and a simple expense summary will be posted as milestones are completed.
Why I'm asking for help
Last year, my father passed away. Soon after, my mother was diagnosed with cancer. That combination hit me harder than I expected, and it affected my ability to keep everything moving at the pace I normally do.
I'm a strong builder by nature—motion designer, developer, and problem solver—but I also live with ADHD symptoms, and I'm raising two young children with high hyperactivity and constant daily needs. Under that pressure, I delayed legal and documentation steps that now can't be postponed.
Today I'm facing a narrow window: I need to travel to Bosnia, renew my passport, complete required paperwork, and be present with my mother—possibly for the last time—after not seeing her for ten years.
What this campaign solves
- Travel to Bosnia to reunite with my mother and complete essential documents
- Passport renewal + paperwork required for legal stability
- Time away from work (2–3+ months) while these steps are completed
- Basic support for my children in the Dominican Republic while I can't work normally
- Protection against legal instability that is blocking better work opportunities and long-term stability
Where the $10,000 goes
- Flights + transport$2,200
- Extended stay in Bosnia (basic living costs)$3,200
- Passport + documents (fees, translations, notarization)$1,200
- Children's essentials in the Dominican Republic while I'm away from work$3,000
- Buffer for unexpected admin/travel costs$400
If the final costs are lower than expected, remaining funds will be used for family stability during the transition period.
About me
I've built my career through discipline and craft—design, motion graphics, and development—and I'm known for delivering professional work under pressure. But life circumstances don't care how capable you are.
I'm not asking for help because I stopped trying. I'm asking because this situation requires resources and time I cannot create fast enough alone—and because family and legal stability are the foundation for everything else I'm working to rebuild.
Accountability and updates
I will post updates as each milestone is completed (passport, travel booking, document steps, travel dates). I'll also share a clear summary of major expenses for transparency.
