Hi! Thanks for clicking. I feel like this is going to be read by no one, but if your eyes are here, I guess I got lucky! It feels really weird to do this. It is kind of uncomfortable having to explain some of my problems, but here we go,
Basically, I’m just really unfortunate. I happened to be born in a messed up country, Venezuela. By just googling about what the situation is like there, it can give you an idea of how things were going for my family. My dad abandoned us when I was 7 and we never got financial support from him – but I got mental health problems as I grew up! -, this moment pretty much marked the rest of my life. Since then, we’ve always had difficulties in the financial side. We had to leave our country and we haven’t been able to afford a good place, medical services (proper mental health services and other minor issues, in my case), cat’s vet visits and so on. My mom won’t make good decisions with money either, which was and is really frustrating to watch, but there’s nothing I can do.
Something recently happened that made me finally take the decision of doing this; I had a USB where I would save important stuff, including design work and a coding portfolio. The USB stopped working – due to, probably, malware I got – and I lost all the files from there, and with that, maybe some months or years of progress.
I do not have an emergency, I currently do not have any critical health problems, but I’m definitely living a life that I wouldn’t wish for anyone. I just need a push to be able to start working on having a good life and to have a sense of safety, things I never had the chance to have. It sucks knowing a ton of financial good practices, having business ideas, having dreams, but knowing that you can’t put those things into practice because of your situation, financial and emotional one. The future is uncertain and I’m afraid things will get worse as I grow up, and I don’t know how I could handle that.
I know there are a ton of people in worst situations than mine, and I really encourage you to help them out if you’re in the right place to do so, but if you decide to support me, I would be immensely thankful. I’ll do my best to use any money received responsibly.
Sorry for the long text lol, and whoever read this, thank you so much. I hope life has great things waiting for you! Sending much love :))
