I am Sarah Goodall. I am 14 years old. My mother has breast cancer and the New Zealand Immigration Department decided she is too expensive for the government so they want to send her back to Buenos Aires. I started school for the first time last year (I used to be home schooled) and made a lot of friends at the Christchurch Rudolf Steiner School, where I am now. If my mum is sent back to Argentina I, my two sisters and my dad will go with her because we are family. We will go through this together. This will be a tremendous loss for all of us - my sisters are 11 and 9 years old, and they would miss their newfound friends a lot. I have moved countries various times and would be heartbroken to move again, especially from this amazing country of ours: Aotearoa. We came here in the first place to get away from the unstable Argentine Government and are faced with another problem - the New Zealand Government. When my family and I came here my mother had not been diagnosed with cancer and like every other family who has a loved one with this, it shook our small world. When I am older, I want to go to Ara Institute and explore my natural aptitude for art - something I would not be able to in Argentina. After my mother beats cancer, she wishes to become a Spanish teacher, yet again, contributing to our community.It would mean the world to us if we could stay in this beautiful country.

Can the government legally deport Mrs Goodall? Is the only reason because she now has cancer... although she didn't when she first came to NZ?
This family is full of love and has never failed to enyone. The only thing they need is to stay where technology and servicie are efficient to figth cáncer. Expel them is simply a result of an insensititive and regrettable bureaucracy. Con todo mi amor y apoyo a la querida familia Goodall
As immigrants ourselves, we're aware NZ is looking for long-term contributors to our society. Here we have the perfect example of honest, friendly, hard-working people and 3 gorgeous girls with tremendous potential (including being future tax payers). I hope you receive all legal support you require.
Cancer is a terrible disease. None of us get a choice, there is no preventive drugs to take. It hits all if us. Childrean, mothers, sisters , brothers. It is sad and hurtful. We all know someone who has got it, died from it and have LIVED through it. Give this family a chance to stay and live in our amazing country and give this Mum a chance to fight.
Please let them stay. Rudolph Steiner changed my daughter's life for the best. She finished school and now has a diploma of Interior design from Ara. Come on we are kiwis and we are heart!!
Best wishes for that adorable family!
Please keep the Goodall family in NZ.

I am the class teacher of the family's youngest daughter and I can attest that the entire family is nothing but an enrichment for our school community. They are generous with their kindness and spirit. Losing them would be a great loss for our community.
