You helped Myrtle stay with her daughter Mary over 2 years ago. After your wonderful support, the Government granted her leave to remain on human rights grounds - but only until 17 September this year! Now her leave to remain is about to expire and she has to urgently apply again otherwise she risks being removed back to South Africa where she has no-one to look after her.

As set out in the last update, in order to apply again, Myrtle will have to pay extensive Home Office fees. 

But Myrtle simply cannot afford the Home Office fees. But if she doesn't pay them and submit her application in time, she risks being separated from her family and removed to South Africa.

Myrtle is hence pleading with you to help her. If you can support her with a donation - however small - it would make all the difference to her future:

Please support Myrtle again to enable her to stay with her family. Your support has literally saved her life before! 

We hope you will also be able to circulate this appeal and wish to thank you for your amazing support!

With heartfelt thanks,

Myrtle, Mary & David
