My name is Iwona and I am 30 years old. I am in a difficult financial situation. Three years ago, my dad passed away during a pandemic. He was dying alone in the hospital. Unfortunately, due to the procedures, I couldn’t say goodbye to him. I couldn’t handle it and I had a nervous breakdown. I was unable to get out of bed. I couldn’t eat or sleep. I lost my job, my bills were piling up, so I took out loans that I couldn’t pay back. I tried to pay off one loan by taking another and so I fell into a debt spiral. The bailiff is currently collecting debts from me. I only work part-time because I still have panic attacks and struggle to recover. I live with my mother who suffers from depression. He is almost 70 years old. Her life was very hard and she also broke down after my dad died. I know she misses him a lot. I never thought that I would be forced to ask strangers for help, but I can’t do it alone anymore. I am afraid of what the next day will bring and how much longer I will last. All this causes me to have panic attacks all the time that I can’t work, so I don’t have money to pay in installments. Vicious circle. I feel myself falling apart more and more. I wish I could live in peace again. Work and not worry about whether we will have enough to eat or whether we will be able to afford heating in the winter. I would like to provide my mother with a peaceful and decent old age. My small salary is barely enough for our current expenses. In addition, there are my and my mother’s medications and visits to specialist doctors. I need $ 6,000 to pay off debts. For some it may not be a huge amount, but for me it is more than I can imagine. It is freeing me from constant fear, which is the first and biggest step to getting out of the disease. I believe that I will find good people here who will save me from losing everything I have. Thank you to everyone who helps me in even the smallest way. I will pray for each of you. God bless you
