I have come to the end of my 6 years discretionary leave and to apply for my citizenship I have to pay\u00a0<strong>\u00a32,300<\/strong>. Right now because of the situation I am in I haven&#8217;t managed to save any money, I lost my job, I am in debt and I can&#8217;t even get a job right now to work and save. This is because with my visa expiring in a month, no one will hire me temporarily. I have only\u00a0<strong>1 month left<\/strong>\u00a0to gather this money and I am<strong>\u00a0running out of time<\/strong>. The reason why I have left it so late is because I was trying\u00a0<strong>EVERYTHING<\/strong>\u00a0in power to sort it out, but I have come to the end of the road. I have 1 month before my application has to be in so realistically it would be best to reach my goal in\u00a0<strong>3 weeks<\/strong>. I am really hoping we manage to reach it! I don&#8217;t know how I will thank everyone, but even \u00a31 from everyone would be something and I will appreciate it so much!&#8221;<\/div>\n<div id=\"takeover\" data-integralas-id-64d34671-3578-749d-92f4-ceb74477ffb4=\"\">\n<div id=\"redesign-content\">\n<div class=\"sub-nav-container container\">\n<div class=\"sub-nav\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div id=\"article\" class=\"article-wrapper\" data-id=\"16139151\">\n<h1 class=\"headline semi-loud\">Swindon blogger smashes \u00a32.3k citizenship fund target<\/h1>\n<div class=\"author-details\">\n<div class=\"author-name-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-row-container\">\n<div class=\"article-row-container-left\">\n<article class=\"v2\">\n<div id=\"articlePage\">\n<div class=\"article-hero light-background\">\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk\/resources\/images\/7620367.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"Rutendo Tichiwangani's emotional YouTube plea.\" data-mobile-height=\"212\" data-desktop-height=\"381\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"hero-caption\"><span class=\"x-small\">Rutendo Tichiwangani<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"p402_hide\">\n<p>A Fashion blogger who grew up in Swindon is facing expulsion from the UK.<\/p>\n<p>In an emotional plea posted on her YouTube page, Zimbabwe-born Rutendo Tichiwangani asked her fans for help to cover her \u00a32,300 costs so she can claim UK citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>The 22-year-old, who attended St Joseph\u2019s College after joining her refugee parents in Swindon aged 10, said: \u201cMy life is not what people see.
