The Final Step to Freedom: Support Our Marriage and Legal Papers.

After 8 years apart, I risked the sea to join my fiancée in Spain. I need your support for legal fees and marriage to work legally. Help me turn my sacrifice into a stable and honest life.

  1. ​The Story of Resilience, Love, and Professional Ambition

​My name is Mhamed, a 29-year-old electronics and internet specialist from Algeria. Today, I am writing to you from Spain—a country I reached by crossing the Mediterranean in a small boat. I didn’t take this life-threatening risk for a simple adventure; I did it for two reasons: Freedom and Love.

​The 8-Year Promise

For nearly a decade, I have been in a deep and committed relationship with my fiancée. She is currently in Spain, working hard to build a life. Back in Algeria, the lack of opportunities in my specialized field and the distance from the person I love made life unbearable. I had to make a choice: to stay behind or to risk everything to be with her and build a dignified future. I chose the sea.

​The Final Hurdle

I am now safe, but the journey is far from over. Being here without legal papers means I cannot work in my profession or contribute to the community as I wish. We are planning to get married next month—a union that is not just about our love, but the first step toward my legal residency (Arraigo) and a work permit.

​How Your Support Will Change My Life

To start this new chapter, I face significant financial barriers that I cannot overcome alone:

​Legal & Documentation Fees: Translating my Algerian documents, notary fees for the marriage, and legal assistance for the residency application.

​Basic Sustenance: Covering rent and food for the first months while my legal status is being processed.

​Professional Integration: Tools and fees to help me re-enter the electronics and IT market legally.

​I am a skilled individual with a heart full of hope. Your donation is more than just financial aid; it is a bridge to a legal, stable, and honest life. It is the help I need to stop "surviving" and start "living."

​Thank you for being part of my journey toward freedom and family.

Uniendo un amor de 8 años y un futuro profesional en España 🇪🇸 ❤️

Hola a todos, mi nombre es Mhamed. Soy argelino, técnico especialista en electrónica y, sobre todo, un hombre que ha arriesgado su vida por amor.

Tras 8 años de relación y compromiso en mi país, la distancia con mi prometida —que ya estaba aquí— y la falta de oportunidades se volvieron insoportables. Por eso, tomé la decisión más difícil: cruzar el Mediterráneo en patera para poder estar con ella y construir un futuro digno y legal.

Hoy estoy a salvo, pero me falta el último paso: la regularización y nuestra boda. 💍

Sin papeles no puedo ejercer mi profesión ni trabajar legalmente para sustentar nuestro hogar. Necesito vuestra ayuda para cubrir los gastos de:

✅ Tasas legales y traducción de documentos.

✅ Gastos de la boda civil (necesaria para mi proceso de arraigo).

✅ Sustento básico mientras se tramitan mis permisos de trabajo.

Cada pequeño grano de arena cuenta para que pueda empezar a vivir legalmente y aportar mi talento como técnico a este país que nos ha acogido.
