Accomodation has been secured in Pretoria in order to get paperwork and Visa done, therefore it reduces the amount required by at least about R10 000.

Introducing Megan, my talented and beautiful daughter, who is currently 19 years old. After completing her first year of accounting studies last year, financial constraints have temporarily paused her academic journey this year. While she takes a break to accumulate the necessary funds, Megan has a dream of becoming an Au Pair in the Netherlands.

To pursue this dream, Megan has registered on Ninacare, and there is already considerable interest from potential families. However, she needs assistance in sorting out her work visa applications. Excitingly, she recently obtained her passport and is eager to move forward.

To fulfill the visa requirements, Megan must undergo a full medical checkup. Fortunately, the expenses for this, including medical and police clearances, are covered. Yet, a challenge arises as one family wishes her to commence before the end of March. This necessitates her travel to VFS Global centers in Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban, or JHB for paperwork completion, incurring an estimated cost of R15,000 for flights, accommodation, and local transportation over a week to 10 days. Additionally, an additional R12,000 to R15,000 is needed for the flight from Johannesburg to Amsterdam.

Considering luggage restrictions, Megan will also require some pocket money for toiletries and miscellaneous expenses upon arrival. I kindly seek your support to turn her dream into a reality.

The family who has expressed interest in Megan starting by the end of March is generous enough to cover her return flight in December. They have also committed to sponsoring her driving lessons, first aid training, and various other necessities on that side.

Megan's goal is to earn enough during her time abroad to resume her studies upon her return in December. Your assistance in making this journey possible for her would be greatly appreciated.
