Hello kind and beautiful souls,
I hope you’re enjoying the holiday season and spending meaningful time with your family and loved ones. Wishing each of you a very warm and peaceful Christmas. I truly wish Santa could step in and help me through what I’m facing right now. But since he can’t, I’m here with humility, asking for your support.
I never thought that I would be in a situation like this, but here I am, reaching out to random people during one of the most difficult phases of my life.
I have been unemployed for the past year and to my luck, I am not really able to find any suitable jobs recently. Over the last few months, I was into building a business project I truly believed in. I put everything I had into it. Unfortunately, that project could not move forward due to a lack of funding. My unemployment situation made things even worse. In the process, I exhausted most of my personal savings and also borrowed money from a close friend. When the project stalled, I was left in debt and in disappointment. I tried asking my friends and family for some financial support, even asked some banks to lend me some money, but none of them worked out for me.
Despite this setback, something unexpected and hopeful happened. Recently, I submitted a new business idea to a business incubator in Germany, which I’ve been developing and refining for nearly six years. To my surprise and relief, the project was accepted. The incubator wants me to relocate to Germany within the next couple of months so I can work with them closely to bring this idea to life.
This opportunity feels like a turning point. For the first time in a long while, it feels like my life is finally moving in the right direction.
However, there’s one major obstacle. I don’t have the financial means to make this move. I’m not in a position to take another loan, and the incubator’s financial support is strictly limited to the project itself—not my personal relocation or living expenses. Before I can even accept this opportunity, I must clear my existing debt and meet the financial requirements for immigration.
This is why I’m here, asking for your help. I need to raise $45,000, broken down transparently as follows:
-
$12,000 to repay the loan I owe my friend
-
$4,000 for the incubator’s onboarding and program fees
-
$25,000 to show immigration authorities that I can financially support myself during my first year in Germany while I work on my project
-
$4,000 for flight tickets, visa costs, and essential relocation expenses
The project that has been accepted is not just another startup idea for me, it’s my life’s work.
And the project in question is a mobile app designed to protect people during violent or dangerous situations. The app would enable individuals to discreetly alert local authorities in real time and also provide post-incident support for those who are traumatized. The vision is to eventually work alongside police forces, emergency services and volunteers across multiple countries, helping to prevent harm and improve response times, regardless of a person’s age, gender, or background. At its core, this project is about keeping people safe and reducing violence wherever possible.
I know this is a big amount of money to ask for, and I don’t take it lightly. Any contribution, no matter how small, would mean more to me than I can properly express. And if you’re unable to contribute financially, simply sharing this message could help it reach people who can. I will try my best to pay back my supporters as soon as I have sufficient funds.
