The paper you showed them is a temporary residency document,
until you get your residency card, the Portuguese are known for being
reasonable people, I don’t know why they are causing you all this stress!
I am sorry you are going through this Cindy! Your subscribers maybe will be able to come
up with something to help you!
I send my prayers up for you to be home, very soon!
😢🙏 praying that all this mess clears up quickly for you.
So sad for you Cindy, I am thinking you will never want to leave your farm again, for fear of a repeat performance of this fiasco. Praying for you to be reunited with all your supportive and loving friends and livestock on the farm, sooner than you can imagine! LET it be a miracle PLEASE, God/Supreme Creator Unlimited… we are asking for a miracle for Cindy, NOW! And so it is!
🤲🏼🙏🏼🌟💗
What you need is a few quid, everyone give a bit, she needs it
Hope all goes well, thoughts are with you
Thanks
How can I contact you in SA?
💪💪
What a nightmare Cindy ! I hope it gets sorted sooon .
Ah Cindy, this is terrible. I hope you going to get sorted. You now have a lot of subscribers. Maybe if everyone chipped in just €1 or €2…you could recover some of your costs. I will certainly contribute
Cindy can’t you get a holiday visa to travel to Portugal so that you can get back, once there it maybe easier to get matters sorted in Portugal.
Unbelievable! I hope it is sorted out soon.. but if you need somewhere to stay in Johannesburg next week you are very welcome by us . We are leaving for Porto today..after waiting a year.. to look for house and land, but will be back on Thursday 18 May..
I hope for you by now you are heading to your beloved farm,hug
Thanks!

Shame this ordeal has gone from horrible to worse. Sending love and prayers.
PS: not sure if you know, but your PayPal url isn’t clickable – can still just type it in the old fashioned way 😅
I am so sad that this happened, unfortunately it seems to be a problem for a lot of people travelling from SA. Praying it gets sorted this time with ease and grace.
Talking about you Cindy on Good Morning Portugal, so Carl and Gilda are now aware for sure. You have a lot of people worrying about you right now trying to think of ways to help.
Wow Cindy that's been quite a Mission you been through stay strong you can do this!
My times are in thy hand. Psalm 31:15 prayer changes things ..🌻
keep your chin up Cindy, you will be back in Portugal, keep making calls and do what you are doing. I'm positive it will turn out well. saying a prayer for you…
❤️. Tenker på deg‼️. Uff da – for en fortvilende situasjon dette er, men heng i det – du har kjempe mange gode venner rundt omkring i verden som komme til å hjelpe deg ut av dette omsider, og bry deg ikke over at du må betale Julian imellom tiden. Bare være glad for at han er der og steller med det som er nødvendig imellom tiden. Du er veldig flink til å ordne med kompliserte ting fra før av, så du greier det til slutt, men du må ta være på deg selv, først og fremst! Ikke la stresset gå utover helsen din, osv. Det er helt utrolig hvor komplisert det hele er! Det gjør at man må tenke grundig over å reise nå om dagen, eh? Bare gjør det som må gjøres, og ikke bry deg over økonomien. Du kommer til å få hjelp med sånne praktiske ting. Bare konsentrere om å komme deg hjem til farmen din‼️. ❤️
I can only imagine the distress you are in. I feel so sorry for you. Anyway, one must think positive. I hope to buy you a coffee (as soon as I figure out how to do it. I have to ask my husband for help because I am hopeless with computers). Hope your next video will be with you on your farm, finally. Think of your ordeal as an adventure you will tell your grandchild one day. Love Filipa.
dear cindy, everything happens for a reason…seems the universe is trying very hard to keep you a bit longer in south africa? ask universe to help you understand the reason for this crazy delay. answers will come.
It’s typical how the embassy’s and consulates are f..cking useless, the less they do, the less they want to do !! Hope you get sorted out soon, I will be also leaving soon to go back to Portugal.
Let us know what happens today
Nobody will ever go to South Africa now for a holiday. This is outrageous.
Hi Cindy, with which link can I buy you a coffee? Maybe put that along with the other links in your channel short subscription.
