My name is Marta and I’m a woman who isn’t afraid of a challenge. I run my own business, raise my three children on my own, and tackle life every day with all the strength I have. I am proud of how much I have already achieved – and I believe there is still much more ahead of me.

But today I am asking for something that is very difficult for me – for help. Because although I have a lot of strength within me, this debt, which I have been carrying for a long time, has begun to weigh me down more than I can bear on my own.

The debts I have didn’t arise from recklessness – they are the result of difficult times in life, solitary decisions and responsibilities that couldn’t be shirked. I’ve been trying to sort this situation out for a long time – I work, I’m growing my business, I fight every day. But there are times when I have to admit: I can’t manage on my own any longer.

That is why – with humility, but also with hope – I am asking for help.

I am raising funds to pay off the debt that is dragging me down and preventing me from moving forward. For me, financial help is above all a chance to catch my breath and make a fresh start, not just to ‘clear the balance’.

I have a plan and a dream – once I’ve closed this chapter, I’ll be able to move with my children to my home town and live closer to my sister and her family. For me, this isn’t just a return ‘home’, but also a way to create a safe place for my children, full of warmth and support.

If you feel you’d like to help – I’ll be grateful with all my heart.

Every zloty, every share is a sign to me that I’m not alone in this.

With gratitude and faith in people –

Marta
