Hi every1! I'm keeping my fundraiser open for the time being because I'm still unemployed, and the refugee organizations I've tried reaching out to have lost their funding and no longer have the resources to help, even those that used to provide some kind of assistance. The donations from my previous fundraiser helped me cover another month of rent, but I still need help paying for food, transportation and other basic everyday expenses while I'm looking for a job. I wanted to give an update on my situation and explain why I still need support.

Here's where things stand right now: I've been unemployed for a l2.5 months now and have been applying for jobs ever since, but to no avail. The job market here is literally cooked rn, and finding a job is already difficult even without considering other circumstances. Not having a local ID makes things even worse. Even though my asylum application was approved and I've been officially recognized as a refugee, I still haven't received my Argentine dni. I only have a temporary immigration document called "precaria" In about half of my interviews, I've either been rejected or ghosted by HR after mentioning that I don't have a local ID. I'm also still without hrt. The public hospital I'm assigned to has been out of stock for over a month now because of cuts and shortages in the public healthcare system. I tried contacting other hospitals, but they either have no appointments available or the waiting time is around 1–1.5 months.

So yeah, even though I've managed to cover my rent for now, I'm still unemployed and have been without access to HRT for over a month. I'm keeping this fundraiser open because I still need help covering basic living expenses. Honestly, considering the current job market situation and the difficulties I'm facing because I don't have a local ID, I don't know how soon I'll be able to find a job and become financially independent again. I'll include my crypto wallet addresses because PayPal limited my account. Idk the reason, but ig it's because of my document (which is basically just a piece of paper saying that my case is still being processed by the immigration office lol). And in Argentina there's no option to receive money through the friends and family option or as donations. Every transaction is considered "goods and services", even though my account is personal and obviously I don't have any business xd.

Any donation or boost would mean a lot

Sora has been missing for 144 days.

There has been absolutely nothing known about Sora since he was disappeared on June 19th.

I have made a new update to the petition. This time, responding to another disappointing letter from the The Judicial Council of Ireland. https://c.org/RDhmQqvvkn

I am still waiting to hear about the Leave of Appeal. Now I am moving my focus to gathering additional evidence to submit to the Supreme Court hearing.

One of the many things I need to collect are the transcripts of all court hearing involving this case. And that will take time and a lot of money.

At the onset, I need €80 to file the motion with the courts to request these documents. I would them need an additional €37 to appear in court on whatever date they appoint to have my motion heard. It should just be a formality, but I must be physically present, which means spending an entire day in transit.

After that I am told that it will cost upwards of several hundred, and possibly thousands, of euros to pay to have the audio records for about a dozen hearings transcribed. These transcripts will be critical to making our case, so I have to be able to get them one way or another. If can contribute something to this need please do.

First things first, the €117 needed imminently to get the transcription process started. Please donate if you can, we are immensely grateful for the generosity we have already received from all of you and hopefully will continue to receive.

Sora has been missing for 108 days.

There has been absolutely nothing known about Sora since he was disappeared on June 19th.

Thanks to some help from local friends, I was able to scrounge up enough to get the Leave of Appeal submitted after working on it for a month and a half. Thank you to those here on Lemmy who donated.

I have also finished writing a second response to the President of Ireland, you can read the petition update here: https://c.org/JGK758Gs2p

Now I need to send a lot of letters and make a lot of phone calls. Which means I need more money that I do not have.

I need at least €100 immediately to mail physical letters and packages, and to continue to promote this issue here in Ireland. If anyone here can help me reach that goal, your generosity would be greatly appreciated. There are many other things I need money for right now, but this is the top priority at the moment.

If you cannot help directly, please continue to share this issue and the petition link with everyone you can. Thank you again.

I still have €80 to go, please donate if you can. I appreciate everyone who has been helping me.

Please donate if you are able to. There is still so much that has to be done. Right now, the only way to get anything done is with your help.

€80 is still needed immediately, €35 is needed in the following days.

Thank you, everyone who has already helped me. I hope I can get the rest that I need soon.

I am still yelling at the Irish government about being given a work permit and trying to get legal aid to reestablish my legal representation. But so far, I haven't heard anything in response. Until then, what little I get in pension and the help you provide is all I have to mount a legal defense.

Thank you very much for the donation, it's not everything I need, but any help to reach my immediate goal is greatly appreciated. Please help me reach the goal I need to hit before the weekend is over. I'm sorry to have to be so insistent about this, but I don't have any other option right now.

€80 is needed immediately, €35 is needed in the following days.

Thank you, everyone who has already helped me. Thank you, everyone who will help me in the future. Me and my son are eternally grateful to you.

I am still in urgent need of funds to continue to push this case through the Irish supreme Court.

I can't move unless I get immediate help. I cannot afford the constant expenses associated with representing myself in court. PLEASE help with however much you can spare. €100 is needed immediately, €35 is needed in the following days.

I am spending my food and clothes money on this, but it's still not enough. I need your help. I hope someone out there can spare enough to keep me going.

Thank you, everyone who has already helped me. Thank you, everyone who will help me in the future. Me and my son are eternally grateful to you.

Thank you again to everyone who has signed the petition.

I am still in urgent need of funds to continue to push this case through the Irish supreme Court.

This is the first time that the Courts are waiting on me, rather than me waiting on them. I don't want there to be any delay between their request for a response and my response. I don't want them to interpret that delay as a lack of interest. I have already informed them of my emotional state and financial situation, but I have no way of knowing if that will sway their opinion of me or how long it is taking to properly file an appeal.

Please consider donating any amount your can. I have to notarize and submit the documents as soon as humanly possible. Thank you.

Good news on the petition, it has passed 100 signatures. That's not a lot, not nearly enough to get the people in power to take it seriously, but it's a good milestone to reach, and hopefully it's just the beginning. If you have not yet signed the petition, that is another great way you can help us. Please do that, and share it with everyone you know. It doesn't take a lot of time, and it doesn't cost anything. Thank you greatly for your help in that respect.

Not a lot has changed, but I am doing a lot of work and finally communicating with people who actually have the power to do something about this situation. But I cannot move forward with the legal appeal because I don't have enough money.

My previous request still stands. I cannot move forward unless I have the money I need to notarize and submit the court documents necessary to request (just request) an appeal on our case. Quoted from previous post:

Because I got more than I expected last time, and ended up just barely having enough to cover the cost of everything, I'm guessing I'll need €350 to €450 in the next few days. If anyone can help out with that, please and thank you. And if you can't, please show this post to anyone who might be able to help.

Thank you to anyone who can help, please share everything related to this with everyone so Sora can return home and get the help he needs.

Thank you to everyone who donated in the last couple of weeks. I ended up getting more than I asked for, but a bunch of unexpected steps made the document submission and notarization cost way more than I was expecting. With food money I was given through the government, I had just enough to pay for everything. So thank you, again, for you generosity.

Now I have to do another round of submissions, including sending multiple packages (binders of printed documents), as well as sending mail to another country. And this is me doing everything myself without paying for a solicitor because I'm still getting a lot of dead air from everyone I talk to. We haven't even started the pretrial yet, and that's going to be even worse. But between pushing an appeal through the Supreme Court, appealing directly to government officials, and publicizing everything to put as many eyes on what is happening, I don't know what else I'm suppose to do.

I have sent several emails to the mother simply asking if Sora is okay, offering to send Sora his toys and books and clothes, trying to get any kind of information about him and any kind of a response out of her and I have gotten absolutely nothing in return, Sora has ceased to exist when he was forced back to Japan against his will two months ago. Which is what I told the Irish Judges over and over again would happen, as they rolled their eyes at me and called two major acts of violent assault and child abuse and years of ongoing verbal abuse and harassment a marital spat.

Sometimes I don't know how I have the will to even crawl out of bed. But as long as he's out there, he needs me. So I will drag my near-lifeless husk from one end of Ireland to the other if that's what it takes to rescue him and bring him back home. This will either be the best thing I ever do, or it'll be the last thing I ever do.


Because I got more than I expected last time, and ended up just barely having enough to cover the cost of everything, I'm guessing I'll need €350 to €450 in the next few days. If anyone can help out with that, please and thank you. And if you can't, please show this post to anyone who might be able to help.
