Hello.

I don't know why I'm here. The idea came to me last night when I was trying to sleep and honestly I don't know what else I can do.

I've grown up in a christian home, and I have seen the church help people. I've never felt like I needed help before until now.

My name is Matthew and I live in Australia. I have been in a long distant relationship with my girlfriend Lizzy, who lives in America, for almost five years. I'm ashamed to say I have never been able to save up enough money to go see her. Lizzy has been busy with schooling and college while I have only just managed to get by with what little work I can find as well as relying on welfare from the government.

I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life once I left school causing me to waste pretty much all the year up until now. Once I met Lizzy and fell in love with her, I didn't try hard enough over the years to save up to be with her. I tried to change my life around a year ago when I got a job, saving up to see her and even propose when I did, but I lost that job six months later and all the money I had saved up went toward paying rent, bills and food.

To make matters ever harder, around the same time I lost my job Lizzy has been sick. She has constant headaches that had gotten so bad she was forced to put college as well as the job she was about to start on hold. The headaches have not gone away in almost a year and no one knows why.

The stress of the situation and not being able to be there in person to help her is also starting to effect my health. I am beginning to suffer from anxiety. My heart is constantly beating fast, I'm having problems sleeping and it's getting harder to concentrate on tasks for a long time. This is the worse time for this to start happening as I am going to be studying to get a diploma in July. Doing so will allow me to get a more permanent job, a job that I can do and will take me closer to the love of my life.

This all isn't life or death, but it doesn't change the fact that my world is crumbling around me. If I could get the money and fly to her, hold her for the first time in five year, my stress would just melt away. I would be able to look after her properly, the college course is online so I would be able to do it during the time I was with her. Everything in my life and Lizzy's would improve to a point we can only dream of.

Please help me get to her. Please allow me to fly to her and show her how much I love her. Lizzy is the love of my life, my soulmate and my world, I need to be there to take care of her. That is all that matters to me.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.



I'm very sorry if this ins't appropriate or asking too much of strangers, but I feel like I have no other choice but to ask for help from strangers without having any way of paying anyone back for any of it.

You, your girlfriend and the general situation you each face are in my prayers, Matthew.
Please always keep in your heart the full knowledge that our Lord never abandons us; His love is constant!
