Hello,

My name is Stephen, and I am a Kenyan national currently working in Bahrain. I moved here a year ago with a singular, hopeful mission: to work hard, sacrifice, and build a secure future for my partner and our young son back home.

To keep my family afloat, I have been sending 90% of my monthly salary back to Kenya. However, because I am stuck in a drastically underpaid job, it has been impossible to save anything for myself. I have given everything I earn to my family, leaving me completely isolated abroad without any financial safety net.

With my work permit expiring on November 18th, my time here is coming to an end. Working under these high-stress, low-pay conditions has taken a devastating toll on my mental and physical health. I am exhausted, broken, and I desperately need to return home to Kenya to reset my life.

I am reaching out to the global community because I have zero savings left to fund my exit, and I cannot navigate this transition alone.

What the Funds Will Be Used For

Every single donation from this campaign will go directly toward my repatriation, survival, and urgent medical needs. Specifically, the funds will cover:

Emergency Repatriation Ticket: A one-way flight from Bahrain back to Kenya before my legal status expires.
Urgent Medical & Dental Care: I have been physically unwell and desperately need a proper medical checkup. More urgently, I am suffering from a severe, untreated dental infection that has left my teeth loose and causing intense chronic pain. Part of these funds will go directly to a dentist to clear the infection and treat my teeth.
Basic Resettlement & Family Survival: Temporary food and basic necessities for my partner and son back home while I physically recover and look for a new job in Kenya.
How Much Your Support Means To Me

It is incredibly difficult to ask for help, but I am doing this for my survival and for the sake of my son, who needs his father healthy and whole.

Your support—whether it is a small donation or simply sharing this link—means the absolute world to me. It represents a bridge out of a dark, painful situation and a ticket back to the people I love most. You are helping me save my health and reunite with my family.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, your empathy, and your generosity.

Sincerely,
Stephen
