Hello everyone,
It’s very difficult for me to write this and ask for help.
As you can imagine, I need money. And it’s extremely urgent. I don’t know what to do anymore.
I’ve been working my whole life, but I’ve never been rich or carefree. I’ve always had financial problems. As soon as one problem was solved, the next one was already waiting.
But first, I’d like to tell you something about myself. I’m 48 years old. I’ve been a single parent for the past 13 years and don’t have a partner who could support me. I’ve been caring for my mother for years, and I’ve been nursing her at home for the past three years because she has dementia. My dad died about 20 years ago. He had a brain hemorrhage and was in a nursing home for 10 years with a care level of 5.
I also took care of my grandmother, but I had to put her in a nursing home because I couldn’t afford to care for her at home. I have a herniated disc myself and couldn’t lift her. She could no longer walk due to a broken femoral neck and also had dementia.
Last year, however, it all came at once, and it broke my neck. It started at the beginning of 2024. I could no longer work due to mental overload and was signed off sick. I received sick pay starting in March. Then in April, my beloved car broke down; the repairs were too expensive. You have to understand, I live in a rural area. There’s nothing here. I depend on a car. So what did I do? I sold the car for a few bucks and bought a “new” used car (€3,000) with the money I had saved. The biggest flop I’ve ever had, but more on that later. The car ran for a while. Then I needed heating oil (€1,500). So I dipped back into my savings, which is unfortunately necessary. So far, so good. The drama continued: one of my dogs got sick, and I had to undergo emergency surgery for an infection in the uterus. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love my animals and how I would rather have nothing to eat than not help them. Yes, the operation was very expensive. Including aftercare, it cost 1,500 euros. That was in July. Then the drama with the “new” old car started. First I lost the rear muffler, then I had to let the car warm up for at least 20 minutes before I could even drive. A new light comes on every day. I ignored the problem at first to save money on a “new” used car. But that wasn’t the end of it. At the beginning of October, suddenly, five little kittens appeared in front of my house at night, screaming pitifully. I took them in and looked after them. Five days later, another five little kittens appeared. I could have ignored them, but I did. I took the little ones to the vet and looked after them. But despite all my effort and care, six out of ten died within four months. The whole thing cost me about four thousand euros. Again, no new car. And I needed heating oil again. (€1,000). I then went back to work at the beginning of 2025, also for financial reasons. I was kind of happy that I had a bit more money again, but what happened? My grandma passed away. Well, and since I always took care of her anyway, and none of her children or grandchildren ever worried about her, let alone asked about her, I paid for the funeral. (€3,000).
Now I’m so broke that I can barely cover my running costs. My car will finally give up the ghost in the near future. Every day I’m afraid I’ll break down when I have to drive. And the next heating oil delivery is due soon. On top of that, my “old” dog now has laryngeal paralysis, so who knows what else is in store for me. I’m so afraid every day that something else will happen.
I asked my bank for a loan, and they let me down.
Basically, you’re my last hope.
I urgently need money for a good, reliable used car and heating oil.
Thank you all for listening and reading, and I am infinitely grateful for every cent.
Love, Diana
