GoFundMe - Music For My Wife

https://youtu.be/R9W6PcyKheQ Hello, My name is Jon.   This Campaign is called, "Music for my Wife," where I hope my music will lead me down a path to where I can see, and live with my wife once again. I've lived through some Hell's and High Water, as have so many others in this world, but the two most painful and heartbreaking experiences for me was when my mother died, luckily I had my wife at my side or else I don't know how I would have gotten through that.   The second thing is when the U.S Border patrol told me that I was not allowed to enter the states for 5 years because I have been spending too much time in the states with my wife. Being told that you are not allowed to see the ones you love is emotionally heart-wrenching. I am 25 years old, Canadian and married to a the most wonderfully weird and perfect woman who lives in America and is a U.S citizen. We have been together 4 years and married 3. Initially we didn't think it was that big of a deal to rush into getting a Green Card for one another until 2 years ago, my mother passed away.  Struck with crippling depression I struggled at my job and eventually left work all together. About a year and a half ago, my wife and I made the conscious choice that while I get back on my feet, I would stay with her in the states.  Every 6 months I would return back to Canada so that I could renew my visitors visa, and we didn't know exactly what that meant.   I've spent the past year and a half working full time as a house husband, and yes, that is a full-time job.   I've also spent this time learning to play guitar, which is why I named this campaign the way that I did, because if it wasn't for my wife, I would not have been able to learn through all facets of life. Then on March 25th, 2019, I was returning to my wife after visiting my father in Canada, I was Barred from entering the states for 5 years.   This threw me into a deeper depression, now I am alone in Canada, living on a single bed in my fathers living-room  in a 1 bedroom apartment, while desperately looking for a job to no avail.   Because my dad is old and his movements are now somewhat limited, I'm literally sleeping next to where his dos goes to the bathroom and all I want more than anything in the world is to hold my wife and wake up to her beautiful face.   This year was supposed to be the year that we were going to apply for my Green Card into the states, we haven't been able to do it sooner because the process is quite expensive. Now with the current situation that I am in, I have no money or savings, no job, and my wife is in the middle of switching jobs, we are not able to afford to cough up $5000 for my process to immigrate to the states.   I have been given many opportunity in the states for work and employment in the past year and a half, but had to turn them all down because I am not legally allowed to work in the states, and I want nothing more than to be able to help support my wife and family. Looking for a job is hard and slim pickings, which is why I am turning to, hopefully the good side of the internet and the world.   The cost for my application into the green card is as follows, step-by-step. $2,500 - for a bar waiver form. which would lift the 5 year ban on my admission into the states. Allowing me to freely once again visit my wife. And since I have no criminal record, once the form has been submitted it can take as quick as 6 months. $1,500 - for a spousal visa. which would allow me to live with my wife full time while waiting for the approval of my Green Card, and also allow me to find work so that I may also help out with the expenses. $6,000 - for the Green Card Application. which would allow me to live freely in the states with my wife, pay taxes, buy a home, ect. that total before taxes is $10,000 the extra $5,000 would cover any addition fee/documentations that I would need to acquire/fill out as well as help the first couple of months of living with my wife as I look for a steady paying job. Of course, during the time that I gather the money/wait for the process to be over, I will be actively looking for work, as well as working once I find a job. many of the lawyers that I spoke too require that we have half of the payment now, upfront and the second half once the process is over. There are also payment plans that can be put into place, but I would still need to pay a most half before I can hire their services, and that is money that we, my wife, nor our families have. Please, I am a good man, who was mentally crippled by his mother's passing, and now I am stricken with grief over the fact that due to my depression getting the better of me, I can no longer visit my wife. Yes, she can visit me. But like I said she is in the middle of switching jobs, and is not in the best position to aid in the process nor be at my side or I at hers.  I don't have much to offer at the moment when it comes to giving back to those who support this campaign. So, I plan to make a cover song once/twice a week, in hopes that that is enough compensations to those who are willing to give any monetary amount. I apologies in advance for my terrible playing.   Here is my first song. All of these Stars - by Ed Sheeran,

Note - Video was still processing on YouTube at the time of Campaign.   I dedicated this song to my strong, loving and supportive Wife, and in hopes that we may live under the same roof soon. Thank you for your time.   P.S for various family reasons, we cant really publicly post this on our Facebook, we dont really want to be disowned by our family just yet... hahaha (awkward as all hell laugh.) Note to self. Dont edit this on the mobile app... It will delete almost everything and change the formate. Only edit/post from the computer.
