Hello,

My name is Pedro, and I am from Türkiye.

The love of my life is from the Philippines. Despite the distance between us, we have spent years building our relationship, and now we have decided to start our life together in the Philippines.

Moving to another country, adapting to a new culture, and building a life from the ground up has been one of the biggest decisions of our lives. It has not been easy, but our love has given us the courage to take this step together.

We chose to build our future in the Philippines because my fiancée’s family lives there, and we want to create a stable and peaceful life close to them. Our dream is not simply to get married—it is to build a loving home, raise a family, and create a future through honest work.

As an international couple, we are starting from zero. Immigration requirements, legal paperwork, marriage documents, finding a home, and covering the basic costs of daily life have been far more difficult and expensive than we ever expected.

Even so, we have never given up on our dream.

Our goal is simple.

We want to build a happy family, have children, and create a small business that will allow us to support ourselves with dignity and independence.

Our plan is to open a small school and office supply store. We hope this business will provide a stable income for our family, allow us to grow over time, and, if possible, create jobs for others in our community.

We are doing everything we can ourselves. We continue to work, save money, and plan carefully for our future. This campaign is not about depending on donations forever. It is about receiving a helping hand during one of the most challenging transitions of our lives so we can build a stable foundation.

The funds raised through this campaign will be used for:

1. Wedding and legal marriage expenses
2. Immigration and government processing fees
3. Rental deposit and essential household items
4. Basic living expenses during our transition
5. Equipment, inventory, shelving, permits, and startup costs for our small business

Our estimated budget allocation is:

1. 30% – Wedding and legal documentation
2. 30% – Starting our small business
3. 20% – Rental deposit and essential household necessities
4. 20% – Immigration, relocation, and other legal expenses

We are not asking for a luxurious life.

We are simply asking for the opportunity to begin our future with security, dignity, and hope.

The photos and information we share in this campaign are meant to show that we are a real couple working hard to build a genuine future together. We want everyone who supports us to know that every contribution will be used responsibly and with gratitude.

No donation is too small.

Every contribution brings us one step closer to building our home, our business, and our future together.

If you are unable to donate, simply sharing our campaign with your friends or on social media would mean the world to us.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story.

We are deeply grateful for every person who supports two people from different countries trying to become one family.

Our hope is that one day, when we are standing on our own feet, we will be able to help others just as others helped us.

With sincere gratitude
