Hi, I am a student who moved from Rwanda to Poland hoping to build a better life for myself, become financially independent, and eventually be in a position where I could also help my family. Unfortunately, the past year has been much harder than I ever anticipated. I unexpectedly lost my job last August, and since then I have been doing everything I can to survive while looking for another opportunity. Over that period, I have had to borrow money to cover basic living expenses, school fees, and other necessities.
Altogether, I have accumulated a little over €5,200 in debt. €5 212,66 to be precise, a lot of that money was borrowed from the bank and people who were kind enough to help me when I had nowhere else to turn, but many of them understandably now need their money back. It has reached a point where I am struggling to keep everything together. I currently do not have stable accommodation, and financially I have exhausted almost every option available to me. I would be lying if I said the situation hasn’t taken a serious toll on me mentally.
I recently went through an interview process, received an offer, and I am due to start working in October. I desperately want to make this opportunity work because I know that once I am working again and have some stability, I can slowly begin rebuilding my life and paying back what I owe. The problem is getting from where I am now to that point. Without somewhere stable to live and some financial breathing room, I am scared that I could lose the opportunity I have worked so hard to find. That is why I am reaching out to you. If there is any way you could help me through this period, whether with my immediate living situation or with some of the financial pressure I am facing, I would be incredibly grateful.
I also want to make clear that I am not necessarily expecting a handout. If you were willing and able to help me financially, I would be more than willing to treat it as a loan and agree on a repayment arrangement with you. Once I am working and stable again, I would repay you gradually according to what I can realistically afford until every penny is returned. I know that you may receive messages from many people asking for help, and I don’t believe that my problems somehow make me more deserving than anyone else. I am simply at a point where I have run out of people and places to turn to. I am so close to finally having a chance to get back on my feet. I just need help getting through this immediate period so that I don’t lose that chance. If you are able to help in any way, it would mean more to me than I could adequately put into words. And even if you cannot, I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to read this and hear me out.
