Request for financial support to overcome a difficult situation

Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is Carmen, I am 43 years old and I come from Romania. I have been living in Germany for several years and have worked hard to build a future for myself here. In 2007, I set up my own business, but had to close it in 2018 due to financial difficulties, which left me with debts.

In 2015, I completed a training course as a beautician in Romania, hoping for a fresh start. However, in order to work in Germany, my qualification must be recognised – a costly and time-consuming process. Until it is recognised, I cannot work and currently have no income whatsoever. I applied for social security benefits, but my application was rejected, which is why I am now taking legal action against the decision.

My financial situation is extremely difficult: I am behind with my rent and can no longer cover my basic living costs. This situation is weighing heavily on me. That is why I am reaching out in the hope of finding people who are able and willing to help – even the smallest amount of support would be a huge help to me in getting through this difficult time, having my degree recognised and being able to work in my profession again.

If you are able to help me, I would be infinitely grateful. I would also be grateful for any information about organisations or individuals who can provide support in such situations.

Thank you very much for your time and for any help you can offer!

With a grateful heart,

Carmen
