Hello everyone,
We are Esteban, 34, and Mariana, 25, both engineers from Colombia. We are a young couple living on the outskirts of Medellín, Colombia, and we are reaching out to you because we have exhausted all our financial options.
In October 2023, we decided to buy a 6,000-square-meter farm. We don’t have children yet, but we dream of having a place where our future children can be born and grow up. The person who sold us the farm was an angel, offering us flexible payment options because we didn’t have cash on hand. We had an $80,000 mortgage loan approved and an apartment valued at $90,000 in Medellín, but the apartment is under a leasing credit, and we still owe $75,000.
The property we bought is worth $222,306, and we’ve already paid $52,000 to the previous owner by selling everything we had. Initially, we planned to request a $75,000 renovation loan from our bank, Bancolombia. This loan would allow us to finish paying for the apartment and transfer ownership of the farm, leaving us with just two loans to manage. However, in July, Bancolombia informed us that we couldn’t take out a third loan because we already have the mortgage and leasing credits.
With heavy hearts, we are here, desperate and looking for alternatives. Selling the farm is our last resort, but we want to be honest: we know there are people with greater needs than ours. That’s why any money we receive will be returned through donations on this same platform. We only seek temporary help, and we promise to repay it, even with interest. We humbly ask for a helping hand in this situation. We were so close to making our family dream come true, and this was the only obstacle in our way.
