Help Me Save Our Family Home

Hello, my name is Kateryna, I am 30 years old and I serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
I have always lived by the principle that someone else’s need might be greater than mine. This is why I dedicate myself to rescuing and helping others. But in doing so, I completely forgot about myself and my little family.
Today, my biggest struggle is financial. My mother and I are at risk of losing our home because of unpaid rent. Right now, our debt for the apartment has reached $500, and every month the amount keeps growing. On top of that, I still carry a loan I took to repair my car, which I used to help evacuate people from dangerous areas. The interest on this credit has become overwhelming.
I am doing my best to balance military service and supporting my family, but it is simply impossible for me to cover these debts alone. My greatest fear is that my mom, who depends on me, will be left without a safe place to live.
That is why I am reaching out here with humility and hope. I am asking for your kindness and support to raise $2,000 to:
• Cover the apartment debt and secure our home.
• Pay off urgent loan expenses from the evacuation car.
Even the smallest donation will make a huge difference in our lives. Your help would not only give us a roof over our heads but also give me strength to continue serving and helping others without fear of losing my family’s home.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading my story, for sharing it, and for any support you can give.
With gratitude,
Kateryna

I am a Ukrainian woman who chose to serve during the war.

So…

At home, I only have my mother, who is 68 years old. She has a heart condition and therefore needs constant medication. I have no one else.
I went through battles, trenches, and most of the time I served as a combat medic — it has shaken my mental health.

I am originally from Chernivtsi, in western Ukraine. However, in recent years I have rarely been home, spending most of my time in the Donetsk region. Unfortunately, we do not have enough people to replace us so that some of the soldiers could take leave. I miss home deeply, and I know it is hard for my mother without me. But I cannot even afford to hire a caregiver for her.

I am ashamed to say this, but right now I severely lack money for everything — proper equipment, stabilizing my condition, my mother’s treatment, and adequate nutrition. On top of that, I also have debts for my apartment in the amount of $500.
I would be grateful for any contribution you can make! At now we need 3000$ :(

Thank you for being human.

Help me fight long covid and lyme disease

Hello, my name is Sarah, I’m 33 years old, I suffer from long COVID and Lyme disease, and I need your help to continue my treatment.

I contracted COVID a year and a half ago, and the symptoms have never gone away. Shortly after, I also discovered that I’ve had Lyme disease for several years.

The main symptom of long COVID is extreme exhaustion and weakness, which prevent me from performing daily activities. In addition, I suffer from shortness of breath, brain fog, difficulty thinking and finding my words, meaning that neither my body nor my brain functions properly.

In the long term, long COVID leads to many complications: muscle loss, malaise after even minimal effort, dysautonomia – a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system – cognitive and neurological disorders, and other disabling symptoms.

In concrete terms, I’ve lost much of my independence.

When I first got sick, I spent six months almost bedridden, and simple things like holding my phone, petting my cat, or chewing my food were difficult.

Then I managed to go outside a little, walk 10 minutes with a cane. I then began rehabilitation, where even the slightest movement was a challenge. I had no strength left.

Today, I can once again do small things in daily life, I’m only occasionally short of breath, and I can walk, slowly, for about 30 minutes.

I still struggle to organize my thoughts, and any activity requires twice as much rest time.

But little by little, I’m making progress.

There is no official treatment and very little medical support.

The things that truly help me are bioresonance, medicinal plants, dietary supplements (vitamins, minerals, anti-inflammatories…).

I am being supported by a naturopath to strengthen my immune system, reduce inflammation, calm the nervous system, fight Lyme disease… I also follow a very restrictive diet.

None of these treatments are reimbursed, but they help me feel better and fight the illness. It’s thanks to them that I’ve made so much progress.

Good news: I have a treatment that works for Lyme disease, and for the past two months, I’ve had no more joint pain, neck pain, bruxism, or migraines.

Unfortunately, I’m reaching the end of my unemployment benefits and my savings, and in September I won’t be able to pay for my treatment anymore, which is my only tool to move forward.

Just before falling ill, I had decided to study to earn a degree in early childhood care and to work with little ones. Today, my wish is to be able to work again, to have an active life, and not just survive day to day.

Your support allows me to:

25–50€: the average cost of a box of dietary supplements
70€: one month of treatment for Lyme disease
100€: two bioresonance sessions (one month)
300€: one month of full treatment
900€: three months of full treatment
3600€: one year of treatment

Here is my paypal link :  paypal.me/Srhthrze

Your help, whether big or small, is precious to help me regain my independence, my life, and to heal. I’m extremely grateful in advance for your support. You are in my heart and my prayers.🙏

Thank you again for your contribution and for sharing this fundraiser with your friends and on social media.

Single Mom Fighting to Save Our Home and Children’s Future-Hardworking single mom, drowning in debt, fighting to keep our only home.

Hello dear readers,

I never thought I would be in this position, writing here and asking strangers for help. I am not homeless, I have always worked hard and never relied on welfare, but today I find myself in a desperate situation that I can no longer overcome on my own.

I am a single mother of two wonderful children. For the past 15 years, I have raised them by myself, working full-time and doing everything I could to provide for them. My daughter, now 20, works and studies at the same time, and my son, 15, is still in school. Despite our efforts, two weeks after my salary comes in, we are left with nothing.

The reason is debt. Over the years, in order to cover basic living expenses and rising costs, I was forced to take out loans. Now I owe about $12,600 spread across five financial institutions. These loans are guaranteed with our home—the only roof over our heads. Each month more than half of my salary goes toward loan payments, and what remains is simply not enough for food, utilities, clothes, or school needs.

My salary is around $800/month, which may not sound like much, but in Romania, this is considered an average income. Unfortunately, it is not enough to keep up with debt and the rising cost of living. My son will start college soon, and I feel so overwhelmed, not knowing how to provide him with what he needs for his future.

I love my children deeply, and I have worked tirelessly to give them stability and hope. But now, I live with constant stress and sleepless nights, worried that one day we might lose everything. My biggest wish is simply to breathe again, to sleep peacefully without the heavy weight of debt crushing me, and to be able to offer my children a decent life.

I hate asking for help, but I have reached a point where I cannot do this alone anymore. Any amount, no matter how small, would mean the world to us. It would help me reduce this burden and give my family a chance to rebuild without fear.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to anyone who finds it in their heart to help us. Your kindness could truly change our lives.

Hello I need money to restart my life

I’m a 27-year-old man living in Belgium.
My life started with a lot of difficulties, partly because of what I think might have been undiagnosed ADHD — or something similar — that made me feel, all through my childhood, that I wasn’t “normal.”

I didn’t pay attention in class like other kids. The school noticed this and decided to place me, my two brothers, and my sister into a special aid school for children with learning difficulties. I stayed there for five years, and this reinforced my belief that something was “wrong” with me.

But one day, my mother began to question things. I had refused to go to school again, and after years of seeing the hate and judgment we faced, she started asking herself: Why are my kids in this kind of school? My parents didn’t really understand the Belgian school system, and they didn’t know they had the right to refuse this placement.

You have to understand — this school was designed for children with severe mental disabilities, like autism. I’m not autistic, but my older brother is. The problem was that the Flemish school system at that time was very strict, and because I didn’t speak Dutch well, I was placed in that school alongside my autistic brother. The authorities assumed that if my brother was autistic, then I, and my other siblings, must be too.

As a result, I spent five years in a school for severely disabled children simply because I didn’t speak Dutch well.

Eventually, I transferred to a regular middle school — but I had to work extremely hard to reach the same level as the other kids. The only skill I had at that point was speaking two languages at a young age. I managed to graduate to high school after two years, but those two years were hell. I survived by sheer determination, just trying to stay at 50% of the others’ level. I was still a stressed child, still believing I wasn’t enough.

In high school, I began to improve, but not enough. I also started working. But because of the trauma from my childhood, I struggled to organize myself and to find a clear path for my future. I neglected many important things, and eventually, I fell into a deep depression that lasted for a year. I had to pull myself out of it without outside help.

After that, I began a huge personal search to understand who I really am. My parents never supported me — financially or emotionally — so my brothers and I had to educate ourselves after adolescence. We learned through trial and error, through mistakes and small victories, and through the sheer will to not repeat the patterns we grew up in.

Now, I finally know who I am. I have even planned the next ten years of my life: I know which jobs I will take, what I need to buy, and the steps I must follow. I am disciplined, organized, and fully aware of where I’m heading. I speak five languages, and I’ve proved to the Flemish system — and to myself — that the labels they put on me as a child were wrong.

But in the process of finding myself, I had to self-finance my entire journey, spending €50,000 of my own money, because my parents never saved anything to help us. My mother suffers from psychotic depression, and my father drowns himself in beer, living in denial.

Even so, I will not give up. I know I am capable of doing enormous things, but I did not grow up in an environment where my talents and qualities could develop fully. I am simply asking for help to get out of debt so I can fulfill my purpose. I know for certain that if these debts are paid, I will never be in this position again. Even better — I know exactly where to invest, how to manage money, and how to create alternative income streams.

If you help me, it’s like adding €500 a month to my salary — and that would be life-changing for me. I promise you, I’m just a simple man asking for help online, not for drugs, not to steal from anyone, but simply to have my liberty back, with the intelligence and wisdom I didn’t have when I was younger. And I promise to give back that money, no matter what.

Help me travel with my father to his dream country JAPAN

My father is soon to retire, and I would love to help make his dream come true. He has sacrificed his whole life to give us a good life. Now it’s my turn. He has always wanted to travel to Japan, so I’m determined to make that happen. Of course, I would appreciate it if you could help me reduce the total cost, as unfortunately, I’m not swimming in gold.

Desperately Need Help to Replace My Only Car

Hello kind-hearted souls,

I never imagined I’d be in a situation where I’d have to publicly ask for help, but life has brought me to a point where I simply can’t manage on my own anymore.

I’m a single woman living on a very modest income. I work hard, but what I earn just barely covers rent, utilities, and food. I’ve tried applying for loans, but due to my income level, I haven’t been approved. Right now, I urgently need a reliable car — and I have no way of affording one by myself.

Back in 2017, when my father passed away, I inherited his car. It was reliable and meaningful to me, and I took care of it the best I could. Sadly, three years ago, while it was parked, a lady crashed into it. The damage was extensive, and the insurance company refused to repair it. They gave me a small compensation, and I used that to buy another car — which I now regret deeply.

The car I bought was from someone who wasn’t honest about its condition. It turned out to be far older than I was told, and had clearly been poorly treated by previous owners. Since then, I’ve poured money into repair after repair, just to keep it going. It has broken down multiple times, and I’ve spent more than I can afford trying to patch it up.

Now, my mechanic has made it clear: “It’s a black hole. It’s not worth fixing anymore.”

But I have no car savings, and where I live, I need a vehicle to get to work and handle basic errands. After a lot of research, I’ve found the Kia Picanto, which is fuel-efficient, economical, and comes with a 7-year guarantee. It’s the most sensible long-term choice I can make. The full cost is 14,000€ — a sum that is completely out of reach for me on my own.

I’m not used to asking for help like this, and I understand that many people are struggling. But if you’re in a position to help — even with a small amount — it would make a huge difference in my life. You would be helping me take a step toward safety, stability, and peace of mind.

Thank you so much for reading my story. I’m deeply grateful for your time, generosity, and compassion.

aide financière avant expulsion

Bonjour à tous,

Je suis Cécile, maman solo avec mon fils TDAH.

Je viens ici, pour tenter ma dernière chance…ce n’est évident même sur internet de demander de l’aide, je crains de faire pitié… Je me dis “Tant pis, je n’ai pas d’autre solutions”.

Mon souci est simple, je croule sous les factures impayées, au mois de novembre je vais être expulsée, car je ne peux plus payer mon loyer, notre toit, notre refuge…

Suite à tout ces problèmes je suis tombé en dépression sévère, après avoir été hospitalisé et essayant de sortir de cette situation, je tente ma chance auprès de vous…

Mon histoire est banale, mais reste très difficile à vivre, donc je vous en prie si vous pouvez m’aidez à me relever, ce sera une main tendue, un foie en l’humanité retrouvée 🙏

Toutes les participations seront un cadeau du ciel, qui vont me permettre de reprendre goût et fois en cette vie si difficile…De pouvoir garder notre toit au dessus de nos têtes.

Mon besoin est de 40 000€, c’est la somme qu’il me manque pour pouvoir acheté notre logements, toutes les banques refusent mon dossier, pas assez d’apport, trop de factures impayés, je suis à la limite d’être interdit bancaire et fichée à la banque de France…

Je vous remercie du fond du cœur, très sincèrement.

Cécile.

car damages

Goodday,

I bought a car in 2021 from the first owner, it was perfectly okay. My first car I could buy.  The car was from 2020 a crossover  Citoen , and he is named Jonsro. Until this date I have not been in a single accident thank god. However still the car is damaged because at 2 separate events people damaged my car Jonsro while it was parked in its spot. In all of these cases people just left me with the damages. The first event they just made scratches on several cars. For me on the left car door, amounting to $481. Then a week May 28th later in front of my house in the parking spot, somebody ran into my car scratching the whole right side of the car. 2 large scratches with dents. This seems to be a sport in our neighbourhood for some reason. Because nobody was decent enough to confess my insurance will cover the damages. But they will raise my monthly payments, and I will loose my no- claim discount. my Damages for that event is going to be $5431. So in total I have damages up to $5912.

I am riding around with a busted up car because It is hard for me to safe up that money. Being a single working woman.

Thanks for taken the time to read my request.

LOST JOB, need 8000$

Hi

Two months ago, I lost my job, and since then, I’ve been struggling to cover my monthly expenses and repay my existing loans. My monthly payments to the banks are around $3,000. The financial pressure has become overwhelming, and I am currently in urgent need of $8,000 to stabilize my situation.

Finding a new job as an architect in Bulgaria has proven to be extremely difficult, especially in the current economic climate. Despite my continuous efforts, opportunities in my field are scarce, and time is working against me.

On top of this, I am doing my best to care for my young daughter, who is about to start first grade. Ensuring she has everything she needs for this important milestone has become an additional emotional and financial challenge.

Any support or assistance during this difficult time would mean the world to us. Thank you for taking the time to read my message.

I’m not asking for the full amount back — I know times are hard for everyone. But if you’re in a position to help, even a small contribution would mean the world to me. Every bit helps, and I’d be incredibly grateful for any support as I try to rebuild and move forward.

Thank you for reading this and for considering helping someone who got caught in a bad situation.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support.

POST ACCIDENT FINANCIAL RECOVERY

hi, my name’s lina and i’m currently 25. i’ve been through a lot of things in life but i always managed to recover, until recently. i had a car accident – my car, my only way to go to work, the thing i put all of my savings into to fix it, has been smashed by a truck when i was on my way to therapy. it’s not really possible to fix it anymore, so with my little savings and huge help on my friend’s side i bought a new car. it’s hard to get back on my feet, pay my best friend back for what they lended me to buy a car and continue my journey in therapy, now with ptsd. i just wish i could live normally, without worrying about being able to pay for my bills or guilt about being not paying my best friend back, who is also in a hard financial situation right now.

Help us keep our home – the last glimmer of hope

Hi,

I am a 61-year-old mother from the outskirts of Oulu. I live alone with my beloved daughter in a home that we built together to protect our lives. A house is more than a home to us – it is our safe haven, a cradle of memories and the only permanent thing in our lives.

In 2015, I dared to dream of something better. I had been at the same job for 21 years and believed that I would get through my mortgage before retirement. But no one can predict life.

Everything started to fall apart in the summer of 2023. I had to retire on partial disability pension due to back and hand problems. In October, a prosthesis was installed in my right hand, but the recovery failed. I have been on sick leave since then – for over two years – and surgeries on both hands and back are still ahead.

The final blow came in October 2024, when 30 years of work ended with a layoff. My income plummeted. And then – as if fate had struck again – I was scammed online in the summer of 2024. Loans were taken out in my name, everything was taken out of my account. I got nothing back.

Now I have accumulated a debt of 230,000 euros. I haven’t been able to pay off my mortgage for six months. After July, our house will go into foreclosure. Then there will be a forced auction.

Our house is everything to us. It’s the last thing we have left.

I haven’t been able to pay my credit card debts, the bills are in collection. I don’t know how I’m going to pay the upcoming cuts. I don’t know how we’ll even make it through next month.

I need 50,000 euros now – that would be enough to pay off my outstanding loans, save our house and give us time to breathe.

I am writing this message with tears in my eyes and a broken heart. I have never in my life had to ask for help like this – but now I have to.

If you can help – even a small amount – you will give us the opportunity to continue our lives. You will not only save the house, but the future of a mother and daughter.

Forever grateful ♥️🙏🏼♥️

Trying to get on my feet after terrible mistakes

Hello,

My name is Beatrice. I’m a 23-year-old student, and I’m writing this message from one of the most vulnerable places I’ve ever been in my life. I never imagined I would be in a situation like this—ashamed, scared, and desperate—but I’m reaching out with honesty and hope that someone might listen and care.

 

A few months ago, I lost my job, and everything started to fall apart from there. Rent, bills, food—everyday necessities suddenly became overwhelming. Out of desperation, I started borrowing money from fast-credit websites, not fully understanding the consequences. The interest rates were extremely high, but I was too anxious and ashamed to tell anyone. I kept hoping things would get better, that I’d find work soon, and I’d manage to pay everything back.

 

That didn’t happen. The debt kept growing, and now I find myself stuck in a terrifying cycle. I owe money to multiple sketchy online lenders, and the pressure, the phone calls, the threats—it’s all too much. I’m constantly anxious and afraid for my future. I fear I’ve made mistakes that I’ll carry with me forever, and I can’t stop blaming myself for the choices I made out of panic and isolation.

 

I’m not asking for pity—just a chance to make things right. I want to pay off these debts, close this awful chapter, and rebuild my life with more responsibility and stability. I’ve learned a painful lesson, and all I want now is to start fresh, to get back on my feet, and eventually help others like me who’ve felt this kind of despair.

 

I also have a cat named Marcy. She’s my little family, my comfort, and my reason to keep going. But I’m so scared that if things get worse, I won’t be able to take care of her anymore. The thought of that breaks my heart more than anything.

 

If you are able and willing to help, even a little, it would mean the world to me. Not just as money, but as a lifeline—proof that it’s possible to recover from mistakes and find kindness in a dark place. I know I’m probably asking for too much, but 4000 – 5000$ will be enough to help through these hard times.

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Whatever you decide, I’m grateful just for your attention and understanding.

 

With hope,

**Beatrice**
