Request for financial support to overcome a difficult situation

Dear Sir or Madam,

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

In 2015, I trained as a beautician in Romania in the hope of making a fresh start. But in order to be able to work in Germany, my diploma has to be recognised - a costly and time-consuming process. Until I'm recognised, I can't work and currently have no income. I applied for social welfare, but my application was rejected, which is why I am now appealing against it.

My financial situation is extremely difficult: I am in arrears with my rent and can no longer cover my basic living costs. This situation is very stressful for me. I am therefore hopefully turning to people who can and would like to help - any support, however small, would help me enormously to get through this difficult time, have my diploma recognised and be able to work in my profession again.

If you have the opportunity to help me, I would be infinitely grateful. I would also be happy to hear from any organisations or people who can provide support in such situations.

Thank you very much for your time and any kind of help!

With a grateful heart,

Carmen
