Hello everyone. I don’t know how honestly this whole thing works but I’ve hit a quite a new low at my economics and I have come to a point that I think I’m okey to beg for money. My situation at hand is basically I am Ukrainian and my mom took me to Greece since I was very little due to some health conditions and for a better future as Ukraine was quite undeveloped. Since I was like 3-4 years old I have been in Greece with my mom and my grandma that came a bit after my mom brought me the first time. We are a family of immigrants I honestly remember my mom and grandma working like 2-3 jobs to get by and provide an economical security for us. Life was getting on track and by some luck and hard work it was looking good for a few years. My mom got a steady job and we saved enough to buy a little house. I got a scholarship for a college in Athens( Deere) and I didn’t have to leave Athens and put my mom in bigger financial issues by going to the public university I got through my exams. (It’s a weird system here in Greece to go to public universities) but anyways with the scholarship and me being able to stay I got a job too and went along with my studies so it got easier for everyone. So my grandma decided she was away from grandpa for too long and she went back to Ukraine. I was left with my mom and a step dad that she was dating for some time ( my biological father left my mom 2 months since I was born cause he wasn’t ready to have kids never got in touch ). Thing is before Covid things turned weird my step father that my mom actually really loved started cheating on her and left her. My mom lost it and she was really bad psychologically later on we found out that she had developed breast cancer too. She was really depressed and I couldn’t let her like that. There was no full medical coverage for her at the time and so we went to a hospital that was good and had half coverage. I dropped my studies for a bit and took on a second job so I would provide my mother with the economical stability she needs so she knows that money is covered and she doesn’t worry and gets healed. It wasn’t such a big tragedy and it all went fine she is better now. But that took me a little back in studying and everything and I lost part of my scholarship because I dropped in the middle of the semester so I had to pay a sum of money to retake classes again and I was working still the two jobs to gain some back. Well luck struck and apparently at the time I needed to grind the most I got accepted for a Greek ethnicity. That came also with mandatory army training. We kid me not I barely managed to get the money for my studies and pay off my debt but right this summer I got drafted for the service. Form one end of Greece almost to the other end at the borders with turkey. Well here I am now I don’t want to ask my mother money cause I want her to get on her feet and be okey cause she still makes some treatments and I’m the other hand I can’t work or do anything for income in the army because I’m in the army. It would not be an issue but I’ve reached a point of I can’t manage this whole thing. Tap water is not drinkable so I have to buy big bottles food sometimes does not get supplied cause trains that supply evros ( next to the borders where I’m doing my service) sometimes don’t come. I’m not asking for anything particular what I’m asking is basically some spare change to buy water and food when I get the chance. I don’t know if this reaches anyone but if some one reads this I hope you are having a wonderful day ❤️
ps* I put a photo of me in uniform, I cover up my colleagues face cause I don’t want him to be any part of it
