My Travel Story

by: Diego Melendez Start Date: Feb 8, 2025 - End Date: Aug 7, 2025
I arrived in New Zealand in September 2018 and starting working in Demolition with no prior experience. I made supervisor within 6 months. I worked really hard for it and because of that I managed to get a work visa to stay here. Two years later I got injured in both of my hands, wrist and arms breaking concrete with a big machine. I recently had surgery on my right hand. My problem is that I've been living with constant pain because of my injury and this affected my capabilitie of work properly and also on a personal relationship level. I want to go back to Chile to see my family and friends that I miss very much and I haven't been able to go back since I arrive here. Now I'm a resident in this country and I'm very grateful to about it but I feel very lonely without my family close to me. 
I don't have the means to travel and I'm just doing enough to pay rent and food. 
I'm desperate and I really appreciate any kind of help
