My name is Marta and I am a woman who is not afraid of challenges. I run my own business, raise my three children on my own and embrace life every day with all the strength I have. I'm proud of how much I've already done - and I believe there's still a lot more to come.

But today I'm asking for something that is very difficult for me - help. Because although I have a lot of strength inside me, this debt I've been carrying for a long time has started to crush me more than I can carry on my own.

The debts I have did not arise through recklessness - they are the result of difficult life moments, lonely decisions and responsibilities that could not be shed. I've been trying to straighten things out for a long time - I've been working, growing my business, fighting every day. But there are times when you have to admit: I can't do it anymore on my own.

That's why - with humility but also hope - I'm asking for help.

I am raising funds to pay off the debt that is dragging me down and blocking me from going further. Financial help is first and foremost a chance for me to have a breather and a fresh start, not just to 'zero out my account'.

I have a plan and a dream - when I close this chapter, I will be able to move back to my hometown with my children and live closer to my sister and her family. It's not just a return 'home' for me, but also to create a safe place for my children, full of warmth and support.

If you feel you want to help - I would be grateful from the bottom of my heart.

Every zloty, every sharing is a sign for me that I am not in this alone.

With gratitude and faith in people -.

Marta
