Story
Can you help save my daughters from deportation? I am a British citizen who's family comes from Diego Garcia, a British island in the India Ocean. My family were forcibly removed from the island 50 years ago to make way for an American air base. Now my daughters, who are 16 and 18, are not afforded the right of British citizenship by the UK Government and are facing deportation. We have no family anywhere else and they have nowhere to go. Can you help me raise money to pay for legal help to apply for their citizenship and keep my family together?
