Rebecca’s story

“My name is Rebecca, I’m a refugee in England. I came to UK 2021 0ctober and left my eight year old son with my late mother.

It really hurt me leaving him behind but I had to flee for my own safety and trusted that he was in safe hands with my mother. Unfortunately God called my mum home in May 2023 and my son was left with no one except family friends. I struggled to bring him here because when mum died I was still an asylum seeker so it wasn’t possible. As soon as I got my Leave to Remain I immediately looked for support to apply for Family Reunion. Fortunately the visa was granted in three months and I had to look for help to bring him because I don’t work and have a one year old girl so couldn’t afford his tickets. Until someone told me about Together Now.

I reached out to Together Now and they accepted to help me , I’m so grateful for them for making my dream come to true. My son arrived in UK two weeks back and we are so very happy.

It’s so painful to be separated with your child. It tortured both of us mentally. In fact I suffered from severe depression and anxiety but now I can testify that I’m okay. I’ve not had any anxiety and depression since he came.

Big ups to TOGETHER NOW ❤️ 🙌 “
